It was an absolute pleasure to work with Mr. Rhys Jones and Y5 for this project.
With enthused partners and children on arrival there were great ideas and preparation had been made to create some excellent Artwork ready for my visit.During the tour, discussions were made to create some murals to be constructed on the front of their school entrance. The class idea was to deconstruct Welsh Nursery Rhymes inspired by Jeremy Deller’s work “More Poetry is needed” turning them into visuals inspired by Jon Burgerman.
The class was split into groups, a carousel of painters and makers got to work , some working on the murals whilst others working on smaller personal “relief pieces made from wood and paper-mache. Elena said “Our mural has been really creative, it’s not been like anything we have done before’
“We really. Really. Really. really enjoyed it” said Mared.
“Mae wedi rhoi cyfle da I ni fod yn greadigol” said Nikolas.
“Mae wedi body n brofiad arbenning a dda I’r plant – cael treulio amser yn gweld gwaith celf a gweithio gydag arlunydd proffesiynol”
“It has been a very good experience for the children to spend time seeing works of art and working along side a professional Artist “, said Mr. Rhys Jones (Class teacher).
