ROSSENDALE SCHOOLS DAVE PEARSON PROJECT

Two Rossendale Primary Schools (St. James Haslingden and St. Nicholas Newchurch) have chosen a work by Dave Pearson - BLUE AND RED HORSES - as the starting point of a project inspired by the National Gallery's 'Take One Painting' scheme. Each class has a poster of the painting and the students use this to develop a project. This is not limited to an art project, but can go off in any direction the students think fit.
