ARTISTIC children have made their colourful mark on a new housing scheme.
Children from St Gabriel’s School, Ormesby, Hannah Fisher from the school pictured above, worked with local artist Glynis Johnson to create mosaic tiles focusing on four subjects – people, places, homes and gardens.
Each child designed their own tile and now all of the pieces have been set together into a colourful mosaic which forms part of a commemorative stone at Coast & Country Housing’s Rosewood Close development in Ormesby.
Eighteen new homes have been built, with six available for purchase through a shared ownership scheme.
St Gabriel’s headteacher, Michelle Ryan, said: “The children have really enjoyed taking part in this imaginative artistic project. Thanks to Coast & Country, they were given the fantastic experience of working alongside a professional artist.
“They are also really excited about the fact that their work is going to be a permanent and prominent feature of this new housing development. “
Coast & Country chief executive, Iain Sim, said: “We see local community involvement as extremely important on all our development schemes.
“The ideas, which the 156 pupils at St Gabriel’s have come up with for the mosaic, are wonderful and it will be an artistic asset to Rosewood Close for many years.
“The children should be proud of what they have achieved.�
