School days

School. What do you make of it? Pupils from St Lukas Primary School wrote and drew at school with Stichting Taalvorming about making friends, trial and error, the first day of school, having a birthday, helping each other. The artwork incorporates the handwritten texts and drawings on long glass panels in the facade of the new school. Connected together, they form a ribbon around the building that portrays school time and shows the students’ connection to their school and neighborhood.
