Art Superstars Compass
A creative art-based program aimed at destigmatising mental health and promoting understanding of neurodivergent experiences among children. Through portrait-making, 3D art and sensory art techniques, the project empowers children, especially those with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities), to explore individuality, expression, and difference through visual art.
Art Superstars – Compass addresses the growing need for inclusive creative spaces in schools where children can explore identity, mental health, and neurodiversity. Many children face stigma and misunderstanding surrounding mental health and learning differences. Art provides a universal language that encourages self-expression, empathy, and inclusion.
Aims of the Project
• Destigmatise mental health challenges through creative expression.
• Promote understanding and acceptance of neurodiversity.
• Provide inclusive learning opportunities for SEND and mainstream pupils.
Objectives
- Deliver after-school art clubs for SEND pupils, focusing on sensory creative art -making for 10 sessions.
- Implement 2 condensed art weeks workshops for Year 4 pupils, introducing 3D art, focusing on Alexander Alder.
- Develop pupils’ awareness of individuality and difference
- Encourage discussion around identity, mental health, emotions, and self-perception
Where is the Project Based?
The Art Superstars: Compass Project is proudly delivered on-site within our partner schools in East London. We operate directly out of Kaizen Primary School in Plaistow (E13) and Gainsborough Primary School in Stratford (E15). By hosting the program within these educational settings, we ensure a safe, accessible, and inclusive environment where pupils can explore their creativity comfortably
