St Francis Primary x Coventry University at Compton Verney
This special educational visit was an opportunity to allow primary school children from Bedworth to experience running a portrait photography studio with BA Photography students at Coventry University in the setting of Compton Verney’s education spaces.
The pupils were asked to respond to portraits of powerful figures such as Oliver Cromwell and Henry VIII in the historical collection at Compton Verney, alongside portraits that represent people from their own community in my exhibition.
Year 5 pupils co-produced portraits with CU photography students in a fun day of exploring, drawing and dressing up that included valuable inter-generational exchanges of knowledge and energy.
