Wall of positivity

Festival WOEST

Art education

During this event I constructed a big artwork together with 300 students. Positivity and cooperation where our focus points for the week. It was a counterpart of the tough times during covid where the students experienced a lot of negativity and loneliness.

Each student created its own little artwork with the subject: what gives you a positive feeling? These small artworks later constructed the letters of the festival in the form of a big landmark. Accompanied to this they had to come up with a text or quote which suited their artwork which would be drawn on the wall behind the letters. Through this way the students could experience the power of a positive environment and what art can do.
