Opening of the exhibition in our townhall in the 19th district
Cards sent to Langley Park School
Spontaneous reactions!
The project wasn't difficult to do but understanding English was hard. Drawing the animal was easy whereas the laying out the typography was more difficult. We had to draw a lot of dots in the lettering.
I liked the two days of the project even though we had to work a lot, be really serious and calm! In the overall, it was really cool. The two artists were nice with us: they didn't look like teachers but more like friends. At the beginning, I didn't think the result would be so good but the final project is nice. I am very amazed.

I really liked the work between us and the artists. That was a unique experience. I think that the artists liked working with us.
Now I have a new vision on this project, the organisation and its importance for the 19th district, in particular during Tuesday's opening of last year's pieces of art at the town hall. Besides, I have a new idea about the English accent.

But the whole project was difficult. At first, we didn't know that we were going to work on animals, but I think nobody regrets it. On the contrary! It was an original idea. We really had to work harder and harder every day to finish the design and make it look good. Actually, we did so and everybody was satisfied. I'm lucky to have done this project because it was very interesting. I think this is a good experience for us! I guess because of these two days some pupils are stronger in English and could be more confident. Thanks to the artists Alex and Peter, our teachers and everyone who made this project possible. I think I can tell that we're all grateful!

Even if it was difficult, we did a beautiful project. I realized that I was lucky and that 3 million people would have a look at it along the River Thames! So we were asked to do an exceptional project that only happens once in a life time!
This project enabled me to learn new words in English. Now I have another vision of art too. If I were to do it again, I would with pleasure.
Nicolas
I liked this project and yet I don't know how to draw! But I am proud of my work. I am lucky because 3 million people will see this project!
Cheikh
It was a great experience and I am aware that there are only a happy few. It was not the same than in our classes because the artists didn't speak French. It required English only. The artists were very nice.
At first, I didn't see what it was going to be like but after the laying out was done, it showed a beautiful piece of art. (Even if it is not totally finished yet!)
Julie
It was great because the artists were friendly and encouraging. This project was fantastic. Spending two days drawing was exciting. The artists were pleased about us. I will miss them. We were very happy to be chosen for this project.
I am not a good drawer but now I am more self-confident and I have the feeling I have improved my English because I have spoken with the artists. Besides, I helped my friends who didn't understand. The artists are my first English friends.
Gabriel
I think that the project was a very interesting idea. I learned many things in English and art during these two days.
I Have understood that perfection requires to do things over and over and it also requires concentration. It was a very good experience.
Rémi
It was a great and interesting experience with nice people. I think our piece of art will be the most beautiful in the festival! We had to do an excellent work, there is nothing ordinary in it!
These two days allowed me to improve my English because I spoke with Pete and Alex. I also improved my drawing.
Mélodie
I drew the head of a horse and the tail of a fish. It was fun. I am not really talented in art but now that I have met Pete and Alex I think I am better at drawing! This project was interesting but I learnt about art.

Although it was a little bit difficult, we had a lot of fun: the artists were so nice! Moreover, I think it was a unique opportunity to work with English artists for two days.
I had never thought that we could have had such a good result at the beginning but by getting together our talent we did a really great job.
Viola
During these two days I was happy because I like drawing and on top of that we were all together all day long. At the end of the project I was very proud of our work and impatient to see the final draft. I didn't know I could do such a precise and beautiful work. I think it is going to be more impressive once it is finished (indeed it will be 2 meters high).
Working with the artists was a privilege and it will enable us to improve our English. I really took advantage of this project!
Marjane
Actually, the workshop was very interesting because I never worked with English artists. They were very clever and nice. I think it was a very good experience and I will do it if I can. The class was very quiet the first day and noisier and noisier the second day because there was a good atmosphere. All the pupils produced a nice work so this is a team work.
I have now an idea of what the English accent is. I also know what it is like working in English all day long. I am more self-confident because I spoke in English. I spoke with the artists and they explained me how to improve my drawings. So now I can improve in art!
Illona
The days were short and I had the feeling we would not finish the board. I thought that all the drawings were fantastic. We all did a meticulous work and the result was worth it.
I think that the project enabled me to speak English. As for art, I am now more patient. I think I can do thinks again and again for my drawing to be perfect.

David
I really liked this project. Pete and Alex were very nice. I hope they had fun just like we did.
Mohamed It was difficult because I had to speak English and I am not gifted! The project was difficult but I understood and our work is great.
Basma
This project was very interesting but it is a job that demands a painstaking attention. There were a lot of little things to do in every step of the project.
I like the design we did because it's beautiful and great. Alex and Pete are very nice. This project unique.
Now I feel like going to England to discover London and our work!
Paul
Those two days were difficult but cool. It was hard to draw and design good things. If you (Mrs Létant) weren't here, I would have stopped the first morning! I have understood how to work: I have to do my work again and again for it to be perfect. I would like to thank for all that. I was hard to speak English all the time but it was a very good experience.
Max A
The work was hard but fun and serious too. It was also exhausting because we had to start things over again and again to get a good result.
It was an excellent experience and I learned a lot of things. I was really interested in this project.

Have a look at what we did during the workshop. Those two days were fantastic!
