Children arriving at Bracken Edge Primary School in Leeds each day are met by a spectacular mosaic. It is the result of a project undertaken by the children with the help of a team of local artists and more than 500 people from the community.
The mosaic, which was inspired by the work of artists such as Antoni Gaud!, has transformed the front wall of the school and consists of thousands of individual tiles pieced together to create a Mediterranean vista inspired by the four elements. There are also some unusual features such as golden birds' nests.
The mosaic is part of a project by Space@Bracken Edge that was set up to promote community involvement in arts and sports activities.
