Creativity Box is dedicated to levelling the playing field, ensuring all young people can experience the transformative power of the arts.
The theme of the workshops was a focus on ‘Black History Month’.
We ran two workshops. The first workshop focused on the life and achievements of boxer Muhammad Ali. We carried out storytelling, games, discussions and created a timeline of his life.
The second session focused on African inspired art in which children learnt all about African patterns, learned to use patterns to create artwork and ended with creating their own African inspired masks.
The sessions were engaging and it was wonderful to see children engaged in art and history, children were intrigued about how these patterns represent African heritage and history and asked lots of questions about Muhammad Ali.
