Visual Voice

Through a range of colourful, accessible and adapted art activities, we developed a visual manifesto alongside learners at Castle Hill School. The manifesto forms the student. Voice, informing design decisions in and around the school building.  Castle Hill School, Huddersfield, caters for children and young people aged 3-19 that have a range of complex learning and physical needs. This project was designed to provide a way for students to input in design decisions in relation to the visual changes within their physical environment.

To date the school colours and the visual voice have been used to create vinyl wraps for playground sheds, window frame colours, vinyl wrap of the outdoor sensory pod, discrete pieces of artwork for two sensory rooms, painted workbenches and a colour banner for the foyer area. The school intends to continue to use the visual voice to inform future design decisions.
