Playground Mascots by Rob in London

The Leen Mills Primary School project concept was designed around 13 different animals which represented each class within the school. This meant that the pupils were able to identify with each of the characters as their own or one that they would later relate to when moving through the classes. Artwork was initially proposed for a single wall however, upon visiting the site it was agreed that a more effective use of the space and budget would be to spread out the details around different walls. This created an animal trail all around the school which helped to brighten up the grounds as a whole. The pupils were also able to get involved by making stencils which were then incorporated into the final artwork (paw prints, fish, feathers, etc.) It was a fun project and one which really saw a massive positive atmosphere envelope the school, from the pupils, teachers, parents and many others who passed by. It created an excited buzz and was a great way to bring new life into their old walls.
