This is what the Artsmark Assessor fedback to Newlyn School relating to support from Newlyn Art Gallery & The Exchange: “…has seen children turning artworks into creative writing and using dance to bring artworks to life. Children’s confidence in discussing their work has improved, as have oracy skills. Moreover, engaging with creative practitioners has opened up to children the possibility of pursuing the Arts as careers and there is clear evidence that you have raised aspirations.”
