The Art of Play showcases amazing work from students from schools, colleges and universities in Bristol and Cardiff. Some 300 students and their teachers were invited to make a creative response to the theme of play.

​

The project brief gave no more detail than to ask for a creative response to play: no requirement or indication of research, material, technique or genre and no assessment criteria. It was left entirely to the participants how they interpreted play; is it a thing (toy), a game or is it play without playthings?
