A mixed media art work created by Minnie

Jesus is special, and so are the students at St Anne’s Catholic Primary School.

This world renowned artiste, known on the circuits simply as ‘Minnie’ is anything but miny... Minnie’s EPIC.

Using mixed media, and a gentle blend of paint, glue gun, texture and text, this incredible artiste has captured all of the glorious colours in: Hope, Joy, Love and Peace. AKA: The important things in life.

Minnie’s work is just ONE example of the 90 individual masterpieces [created in their own time on their own weekend]. They have formed ART for today. Every masteriece is unique, every one of them is special, and - like Jesus - they will inspire you to care, share and learn together.

Take it from the artistes of St Anne’s... You are special. And take it from The Museum of Me: you are worthy of a museum too.

A collaborative and unique Pop Art logo collection

Andy Warhol was a leading figure in the Pop Art movement of the 1960s - pop standing for ‘popular’. He created in his unique way, in his unique art works... even if they often repeated the same template. He found his way to make that ‘his’.

He is known for commenting on mass appeal and for iconically transforming everyday items into ‘High Art’. We’re here to do the same with everyday people.

Today... Pop Art is poppin’ once again, thanks to the collaborative efforts of students at St Anne’s. They have boldly, colourfully and imaginatively reinvented the school logo for mass appeal. And isn’t it: colourful?

In school, what is ‘popular’ can feel way more important than what is ‘art’, but let the students of St Anne’s reassure you: Your individual colours are your ‘Magnum Opus’.

Frankie-Jay:

It’s rare to know how much someone else is hurting.

We could be standing next to someone who is feeling completely broken and we’d never know. So - be kind always, with yourself and others. 🖤

Kind. Helpful. Respectful. Loving.

Just remember who you are because if someone makes fun of you NEVER change to fit in, because you don’t need to fit in, because you are unique and special in your own way. So be yourself and have a blessed rest of your day!!

BE YOU 🖤

A collection of respected St Anne’s artistes with their own interpretations of the ‘rainbow’ brief that we did not give.

Primary school kids LOVE rainbows.

It was red and yellow and green and brown and scarlet and black and ochre and peach and ruby and olive and violet and fawn and lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve and cream and crimson and silver and rose and asher and lemon and russet and grey and purple and white and pink and orange and blue.

Whatever colour of the above you are feeling today, whether gold, or blue - you are exactly where you need to be. Even those feeling... blue, know that tomorrow you might be gold... or asher or lemon or russet or grey. You get the picture.

Embrace your colour of today, because colours shift. Enjoy this collection centred around all the colours of the rainbow, and people... and more.

An AWARD WINNING collection of environmental inspired works. Award: The ‘Mr Linehan’s Gold Star’ Award.

For too long we have been Generation ME. Even us: The Museum of Me holds its hands up knowing that we are not perfect, we’re working on it... and until we grow, we are sorry.

Luckily, Generation... Environment are stepping up [rather than driving] to teach us how to be better. Because, like people,,, the world is not invincible, like people the world can only take so much pain, and like people the world’s beauty goes way beyond what another might see on the surface.

This collection of innovative artworks is your call to action: you don’t need to be perfect, but why not make that small change to be ‘better’.

Every ounce of ‘umpph’ you need to make your today incredible. Presented on A4/3 Paper.

Life is hard isn’t it?

Particularly now.

But fortunately, the students of St Anne’s have a couple of takeaways for you to carry through your today/tomorrow/future:. Here goes:

You got this. You are perfect. Selfie confidence is the best outfit. The easy way might be the hard way. If your imagination wants to go, set it free. Happy funny fun. Be ME; unique and special, dancing.

A 3D Pen Masterpiece by Julia alongside a collection of A4 Amazingness, on A4 Paper.

Julia’s art work bursts out from the 2 dimensional page, because they are not a ‘this’ or a ‘that’. We’re gradually learning that we are all kinda ‘thit’s’.

We are a uniquely complex capture of individuality, across identities, interests and appearances.

The artistes selected to be a part of this renowned collection have captured the complexity of complex humanity. Their masterpieces have encouraged arts critics for DAYS that art does not have to be ‘this’ or ‘that’, it could offer up a complex collection of ‘both’.

Mixed Medium. A4 paper being the traditional medium to express the burden of your thinking. A4... and, conversation.

There is SO much to think about. Isn’t there?! uggghhh.

Thought is exhausting.in a way that no gallery or museum could ever authenticallty capture, or remedy,

But our selected artistes of St Anne have been commissioned significant amounts of moolah to express what is going on in their heads right now. Art Critics across the globe are saying “Worth ALL the moolah”. *****

Brains are a burden, but hopefully within this collection you can find your way to Let It Go. Let It Go... don’t hold it back any more.

An empty cardboard box

OK. So... we are meant to focus on the kids.

But this one is all about Mrs Chester.

See... without Mrs Chester this whole display would be an empty cardboard box entitled ‘Art: Museum of Me’ in green felt tip pen. Luckily, we had a Mrs Chester - supply teacher and ART lead at St Anne’s.

She made this happen, she inspired the children, she created the activity, she got the sign off, and all we did was frame it in a slightly ‘special’ way.

In a world driven by cut backs, this is a shout out for the supply teachers and ART leads like Mrs Chester who consistently nourish creativity in our kids.
