Draw.Cut.Spray.Skate.
17th June, 2009For the past few weeks we’ve been helping people at the Emmanuel school work towards their Bronze art award… A whirlwind project, super-quick stencil making, cutting, spraying, and scrubbing paint off our hands.
We barely had time to delve into the complexity of different techniques, but hopefully the whole thing has been inspiring - we hope that some people might have the confidence now to use stencils and sprays in other artwork. It was a real pleasure to work with the year 9 pupils - everyone has worked incredibly hard and achieved so much. We just wish we’d had longer… We’ll add more pictures once the boards are finished. In the meantime, if you worked with us on this project, please tell us what you thought! Leave any comments below.
If you’re thinking of doing this yourself, be sure to visit the Montana shop - a wonderful world of colours, cans, paints and pens.
This was a Creative Partnerships project and involved 2 more artists, Rachel making masks and Julie exploring set design with other year 9 pupils - we’re looking forward to seeing what they’ve been up to…

Dear Martin and Carly,
It was with great pleasure to welcome you on board with our Skateboard Year 9 Bronze Art Award project. I knew that planning and allowing pupils to use these tools and equipment with the help of experts such as yourself would only be a recipe for success. You were a breath of fresh air, extremely professional and the pupils loved being taught by you whilst they produced their skateboards and increased their skill level.
I recommend your professional services to everyone.
Thank you so much for your time and energy,
Mrs Pearson
Head of Art
The Nottingham Emmanuel School.
