As part of the British Museum’s Middle Eastern artists-in-schools programme, British-Iraqi architect and calligrapher Taha Al-Hiti worked alongside art teacher, Kelly Holmes supporting students to explore the theme of ‘Habitation’ in the Arab and Islamic worlds. Students worked towards a timed AS exam at the end of March 2006. Outcomes ranged from huge scale paintings to carefully constructed and carved ceramic structures.
