The artwork of Nelson Mandela

Children in the Later Years Primary have been studying the life and artwork of Nelson Mandela as part of their Going For Goals project. As well as being a great leader and President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela was a talented artist. Much of his artwork was during his 27 years in prison on Robben Island. Mandela was arrested for his fight against apartheid.






We looked at the famous hand print of Nelson Mandela and painted our own hands and made prints to make a display.

Few have left such an imprint on the international stage as Nelson Mandela. It is therefore fitting that the extraordinary imprint of his right hand should so closely resemble the shape of the continent of Africa.
