Judo cheque for Comic Relief Dragon arrives for St Georges Day
Children went back to Brook Field School after the Easter break on 23
April, St George's Day, to discover a dragon had taken up residence.
It had nothing to fear from knights on horseback, as it was the result
of a sculpture workshop involving year 3 children run by community
artists No Added Sugar. As reported in the May Link the 70 children
aged 7 and 8 had built it along with a wish tree and two collage panels
out of recycled materials they had brought in, but this was the first time
they saw their work on display.
The dragon makes an impressive sight, suspended swooping from a
corridor ceiling. Eight-year-old Elliott Kinsey's first reaction was,
"wicked, look at that."
No Added Sugar is an artistic partnership between Toni Robinson
and Gordon Dickinson. Toni said, "the children were fascinated by the
dragon. When they were making the collages, they kept wanting to go
back to it."
Toni and Gordon have been involved in several community art
projects in Swindon, and work in schools and youth groups. To contact
No Added Sugar, e-mail: [email protected] or call 772088.
