The students were introduced to the historically and artistically significant work of Feliks Topolski in a tour of the 'Memoir of the Century', conducted by the artist’s daughter Teresa Topolski. She provided first hand stories about her late father’s work, and the students have come up with their creative ideas.

Each student is paired with a student from a partner school, and each pair of students together is producing a creative response to Topolski’s work, in the media of their choice. Kelmscott School hosts art workshops on three Saturday afternoons during the Autumn term.

Each participating student has met - and works closely with - someone of similar age but different experience. Participants meet at the different schools during the project.The work the students produce will be showcased in digital form and is featured in part on this web site. Students will also keep a digital record of their progress.
