Big Art Week – Brick by Brick
An imaginative whole-school art project inspired by Gaudí for Primary (Ages 5–11)

Celebrate creativity, architecture, and bold design with Big Art Week – Brick by Brick, a vibrant, cross-curricular art project for primary pupils aged 5–11. Inspired by the colourful and whimsical world of Antoni Gaudí and Catalan Modernism, this resource invites children to explore form, colour, and pattern through the lens of one of history’s most iconic architects.

Focusing particularly on Gaudí’s architectural wonders—like Park Güell and the Sagrada Família—this project encourages pupils to think like designers, experiment with materials, and reimagine their own environments. Links can be made to English through storybooks and artist studies, creating meaningful opportunities for both visual and literary expression.

A teacher PowerPoint is included to support staff meetings, spark collaborative planning, and showcase a rich variety of Gaudí-inspired visuals and ideas sourced from the internet.

The project culminates in a striking whole-school art installation, encouraging children to “bring a touch of Gaudí” to their own school or local community by creating colourful, imaginative architectural pieces—brick by brick.
