Elvina Petrenaite
A short biography
I started my artistic life from the age of six with my first drawing of a fantastic fish. Later on, I went to a special Art Gymnasium (Eduardas Balsys) where I finished a design course (with a touch of graphics, painting, drawing, fashion design, ceramics, stain glass and sculpture). At the age of 19, I started the BA (Hons) Interior Design at Cambridge School of Art which I graduated in 2011.
Project. St Matthew’s Nursery Design
Inspiration for the St Matthew’s Nursery design came from children and their drawings. Colourful and friendly images of animals, nature landscapes and urban cities. It gave me the idea of designing a small town: “House within a house”. This is a place of discovery for children to use their imagination with the help of bright colours and friendly silhouettes. There are three main classrooms: Reception1, Reception 2, Nursery class. Each of the rooms has a different theme: urban – city, nature – forest, ocean. I changed the original plans, made some extensions in order to provide more room and improve the lighting of the space. The purpose of my design was to make a space FOR children and their needs.
