That's right! We're opening our art studios to the public this year! This is a unique chance to view the work of our outstanding Art Department. Children's and teachers' work! There will also be a rare opportunity to see a rare collection of Edward Ardizzone (R.A) original watercolours, prints, lithographs and drawings.

Do come and see what we're up to. See what the children can do and what is on offer for them!

Where you can see...

Exclusive pieces of art by...

OMS Children • Edward Ardizzone R.A • Deborah Ardizzone • Joanna Brownridge • Mark Rowan Hull

'Children's art is often pure, often inspired. At our school we try to promote art in a natural way. That means NOT adult led. We bring out the best out of the children's imagination. We help them to develop and explore their own potential. We work with them to help them develop their skills and their inspiration. By blending the children's work with art from established artists we hope to show how each work has intrinsic value.' Daniel Ardizzone.

.......................

The Children: Sculpture, painting, abstracts (we have a fine collection of 'real' Jackson Pollocks!)

The Ardizzone's: Forest Farm School was established in January 2000. Edward Ardizzone's son Nicolas gave the school a set of drawings to visualize the school's ethos. The artist's grandson, Daniel Ardizzone is one of the school principals and has a collection of the artist drawings, watercolours and prints. Many of these have never been exhibited. Deborah Ardizzone carries on the family tradition but in new areas. Deborah will be exhibiting, textiles and watercolours. Please come and join us in this very special and rare opportunity to enjoy and learn.
