Art Activity For Home
The National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (NAPCAN) are running an art activity for students to complete at home to highlight National Child Protection Week 2022. They are looking for artworks to show what children and young people think about their neighbourhoods. They would like to get children thinking about all aspects of their neighbourhood and what is important for all families. These artworks will then be used in their campaign (on their website and social media) to help show that protecting children is about working together as a community.
They would love to see collaborative artworks but are also happy for children to do individual artworks if they prefer. Students can draw or paint their artwork on A3 paper or larger. Then a photo of the art needs to be submitted to the NAPCAN website. use the link below to find out more and to submit any student artwork.
