This post was instigated by a wonderful conversation last week with Room 13 International art studios based in Los Angeles.
Bathgate Park School has been part of Room 13 International since 2018. Room 13 offers a different kind of art education that encourages children to express ideas and feelings through a wide variety of art forms. The relationship between adults and young people is fundamentally one of collaboration with adults acting as guides and facilitators. Each Room 13 worldwide has its own flavour.
At Bathgate Park School Room 13 we use classroom learning as a starting point. The young people centred learning philosophy of Room 13 that honours individual creativity and understanding influences the way we work.
Resources and materials are integral to any art programme and we are lucky at Bathgate Park School to have many generous donations from the community
The new creative year has started. You can follow us on
