Artworks inspired by Locws International Art Across The City 2011
There were some really interesting ideas floating around when I arrived at the school.
There were a lot of children interested in horses due to the location of the school and were also inspired by the art work, ‘Little bird’ by Laura Ford.
After a few demonstrations using clay and mod-rock and with materials plentiful, we started work on two unusual sculptural pieces straight. One sculpture was ‘half child, half horse’, – turning out to be a horse’s head that could be worn by a child and the other sculpture was a horse’s body with a strange human head.
Other groups liked the idea of making cityscapes to portray an amalgamation of ideas that were taken from the tour day. The children viewed the art as ‘modern’ and they decided to make a futuristic city with real lighting.
One group liked, and were inspired by Alex Duncan’s work wanted to make a model of objects floating at sea. Cut out lettering with experimental, coloured, laminated tissues inserted behind these model created a impressive opaque background and a small group of girls made letters to spell the word Felindre in a model.
Overall everyone in the class worked really hard and some amazing results were produced by all.
