Kaos Arts

We loved working with Karen on a very special art project to create an amazing wall of vibrant artwork for our dining hall. The whole school were involved and loved the day working with Karen. She is so enthusiastic and it inspired many children to work with a real artist. The final outcome is even better than we hoped. Thanks Karen!

Karen was great, every step of the project was planned and explained. She worked well with the staff team and children and the results were amazing! Thanks Karen x.

Great work with the tree of life and welcome sign for the KS2 block. Engaging with the pupils and highly professional with some very creative ideas!

Karen has been brilliant to work with in school, She came with so many ideas to help brighten up the school surroundings and then worked so well with the children in creating a piece of art that showed off the children's ideas and skills but also blended her expertise. We have had so many positive comments from staff, parents and other visitors to the school, I would definitely recommend getting Karen to work in schools.

It has been fantastic to welcom Karen back to school for another project - one particularly close to our hearts. A stunning mosaic designed and made by year 6 to go in a peace garden as a tribute to their friend. Karen is very professional, is reliable and always fulfils the brief to an exceptional standard. Excellent value for money. Her art work in our school is always admired.

Karen worked with us to create a sparkly welcome to our school site. She visited on several occasions to measure, discuss formats and colours and really get to know us as a school and the ethos behind Fort Royal. We are delighted with the signage and so were the children and parents as they returned to school after the February half term holiday. The word of the day was "Wow"! The children have really enjoyed talking about and pointing out objects included in the signs that are pertinent and specific to Fort Royal. We can't wait to work with Karen again!

Karen worked alongside pupils across the age range to create signage to showcase our school values, a welcome sign and a Nurture House sign. The ethos of the school is captured perfectly in the vibrant signs. The art work has really raised the profile of our values and the whole school commmunity is enjoying them. Thank you Karen, would highly recommend Kaos Arts. Sarah Milner, Headteacher at Lower Farm Primary.

It has been a pleasure to work with Karen. The children have thrived from the opportunity to see their artwork turned into signs which are now on show around the school. We are currently working towards our 'UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools Award' and used Karen's expertise to run a competition where children aged years 1-6 could design a sign for the school. The signs are very good quality and KAOS Arts organisation is good in that Karen delivered three assemblies to the school to outline the challenge and then congratulate the winning designs. She is always timely in her responses to emails and willing to come into school to discuss the project first hand with staff. Due to the nature of the project, we didn't have the opportunity for Karen to work with groups of children as I know she does do so would look into organising projects which would allow for this in the future and this would increase the value for money. Karen comes into school and fits all signage herself and takes pride in all that she does. Thank you KAOS Arts.

A fantastic job by Karen at Kaos Arts transforming the outside areas to an exciting learning environment. Karen also did a brilliant job on our Nursery unit exterior and the Community building. The artwork is bright and interesting, a wonderful job done Karen thank you.

Thumbs up for Kaos! Having worked with our children at The Oaks Primary, developing their creativity, the artworks produced were stunning. Visitors to the school are now welcomed by visual artworks created by the children and Karen. The artworks produced reflect the schools ethos of valuing the Arts in children's education. We are looking forward to working with you again soon.

We commissioned a piece of artwork to celebrate our Social and Emotional Learning Curriculum theme week. We are really pleased with our textile 'SEL Tree' which looks great in school.

Karen worked with our pupils to design and create a Wonderful Welcome mosaic sign for our school - the children, and staff, thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and all pupils were involved, regardless of ability. Karen was professional and reliable, and worked to a high standard at all times. We are now left with a fabulous Welcome sign hanging outside our school, which will soon be added to by further projects with Karen at Kaos Arts - thank you Karen!

Absolutely excellent experience working with Karen at Kaos Arts. Right from the site visit to getting the mosaic installed, we couldn't have asked for more. She took a vague vision that I had and turned it into a piece of art. It was a very child led project and Karen was excellent with our children and with our staff, it was a project that got the whole staff involved. I could not recommend Karen highly enough…in fact, I'm just asking her to come back!

Kaos Arts undertook a project to design and create a 'Tree of Discovery'. Karen's design was outstanding. She ensured that every member of our school community was involved in making the mosaic sculpture. Our tree spans 3m high by 4m wide and provides a real 'wow' factor when you enter our main hall. It depicts all of the projects that the children will study throughout their journey in our school. Many thanks to Karen for our fantasic tree!

It has been a pleasure to work with Karen over the past week: her expertise and creativity have had an extremely positive result, both in terms of the school's appearance and also development of the children's artistic skills. The finished product was a frieze based on surrealist artists - all children in two year groups had to chance to work alongside her, from the designing stages to the finished product. This is something that I will use as a starting point for future Art lessons, as well as creating a striking artistic feature.

Absolutely DELIGHTED with the Artwork for our Library Wall. The very dull corridor wall has been transformed into a Fairytale Wall covered with Book Characters. Karen has an AMAZING knack of reproducing the children's art work in such a way that it looks EXACTLY like their designs, but with her Artistic Touches it has the added dimension of a TRUE Creative design. The FINISHED products ALWAYS delight children and staff and brighten up many a dull, uninteresting space. MANY Thanks, Again, Karen.

Karen has worked in Al-Furqan for the past year and has been responsible for transforming a bland, boring, uninspiring environment into a vibrant, colourful and exciting one. She has worked with the children to produce some stunning works of art which now populate the school. I would highly recommend her (and her grumpy sidekick) to you!

Karen from Kaos Arts has worked with us on a number of projects all have really brightened the school environment. Karen had a challenge when she was asked to include some Arabic in the work the children designed, Karen was able to deliver and the work that was produced was excellent. So if you need some art work to brighten the school environment, where children design and work closely with an artist and the outcome is stunning, Kaos Arts are what you need.

Karen worked with our school for a week and a half, producing a beautiful mosaic for our outdoor environment. Prior to the project, Karen visited our school to discuss the work she would be doing and to suggest a place for the mosaic to go. During the project Karen worked with sixteen designers, one from each class across the school, and then with more than a hundred children to construct the mosaic. As we are a large school and not all children were able to work on the mosaic, Karen also led a whole school assembly to help involve all children in the project. The children were very positive about working on the mosaic with Karen and loved watching as it transformed! The mosaic itself is stunning and has been admired by many!

As this was the beginning of the school year the children really enjoyed being involved in a new project. Karen's support for each group was excellent and the children are very proud of their work which is now on display.
