AWARD WINNING GRATITUDE BLANKET

Catholic Regional College St Albans received a highly commended Portrait Award for our community art project titled 'Gratitude Blanket', from Catholic Education Melbourne. 

More about the 'Gratitude Blanket':

We as a school community believe in gratitude and this project has enabled us to express this gratitude through a creative process.

The blanket is a metaphor for the love, care and nurturing that we have all received throughout our lives. The creation of our gratitude blanket has enabled us to reflect on our busy lives and take stock of what’s most important in life.

The colour pink, prominent throughout, symbolises the universal colour for gratitude.

The choice of Polaroid pictures allowed us to slow down and take a ‘timeout’ whilst they developed.

These pictures are a snapshot of us as a community taking ‘timeout’ to be in reflective space.
