St Joseph's Lower Primary School Year 2 Children Showcase Gibraltar- Inspired Art in School Playground

04 April 2025

This year, the Year 2 children at St Joseph’s Lower Primary School have embarked on an exciting journey of discovery, learning all about Gibraltar—its history, its environment, and its people. One of the highlights of this journey was their exploration of local artist Paul Cosquieri’s work. Inspired by his unique style, the children created three large-scale artworks that now proudly hang in the school playground. 

The children were first introduced to Paul Cosquieri’s work during a visit to the University of Gibraltar, where they went to see the original lighthouse bulb. During this visit, they encountered Paul’s striking mural, which sparked their curiosity. This led them to ask questions about the artist and his style, ultimately leading to a focused study on his work. As part of Art Week, they put their newfound knowledge into practice, creating their own large-scale pieces using Cosquieri’s techniques and artistic approach.
