Artworks inspired by Locws Projects 2010/2
There were some great ideas undertaken during these sessions and everyone really enjoyed the Locws schools experience.
Inspired by a metal crest, situated on the Dylan Thomas Centre, and entwined with a birds nest, one group made a model of how nature adapts to our man made environment. This idea was also supported by Tine Beck’s Star being intertwined with debris from the river where birds were settling on it, which we also saw that day.
Another group were inspired by ‘The Ice House’, which was seen as a cannon. A model of Kilvey Hill with craters was made from clay inspired by Simon Whitehead’s work. Simon made a great impression on one group who made a map of the school and due to research found a diary of the school from 1911 – 1923. They decided to interview some teachers to see how the school had changed since they had been there and made there own version of ‘Walking between craters.’
One group of boys really engaged with making a model of a boat with flaming sails inspired by Jackie Chettur whilst a group of girls thoroughly engaged in making a model of a park inspired by Rebecca Spooner.
All in all the class was very enthusiastic and created some great concepts.
