This weekend the students worked on creating paintings of their dream futures. I asked them to think about what they want to be doing, or who they want to be, in ten or twenty years time. They were eager to get started on creating these paintings and they made some lovely work by the end of the day.

These paintings will go into their identity books, which are coming together well (pictures to come).

I'm asking the students to make images of their future to provide a creative and positive means for imagining their futures. It's been great to see their enthusiasm for these ideas, and to see their pride in the work they create. I'm hoping to provide a positive experience for them, and to empower them through these lessons. Here are their pictures!
