Year 6 create inspiring and natural artwork for Mental Health Awareness Week

Year 6 enjoyed the great outdoors by creating inspiring and natural artwork for Mental Health Awareness Week.

As 'nature' is the theme for this year's Mental Health Awareness Week 2021, the girls in Year 6 have been busy creating beautiful artwork that was inspired by Georgia O’Keefe. The girls took close up photos of flowers in the school gardens on their iPads. They then painted in watercolours and added detail with oil pastels afterwards.

St Mary’s School, Cambridge already has a strong focus on supporting wellbeing and positive mental health, and the activities this week have helped support this essential element of our teaching and learning environment.
