Our autumn term challenge was portraits!
Welcome to our Kick Start Art Portrait Gallery!
This term, we received an incredible 305 portrait entries, and we were absolutely blown away by the creativity, skill, imagination, and individuality shown by every young artist who took part.
Here you’ll find our winning portraits, the brilliant runners-up, and the wonderful artworks that received a WOW Award — each one a celebration of expression, courage, and artistic growth.
A huge thank you to all the children who entered, and to every school, family, and teacher who encouraged and supported them.
Special thanks go to the Crediton Heart Project for championing Kick Start Art, and to Mid Devon District Council, whose support has enabled the project to reach even more children.
Enjoy exploring this gallery — we’re sure you’ll be saying “WOW!” just like we did!
