I spoke about how the commissioned artists responded to Swansea as a place of inspiration and Jack and James made a very observant comment straight away by pointing out a bird\u2019s nest intertwined within the Swansea crest sign on the Centre itself, which could become the basis of an artwork.<br \/>\n\u201cAn Ugly Lovely Town\u201d said their teacher Sian, who was also inspired by the nature of the centre itself.<br \/>\nWhen we saw Tine Bech\u2019s creation in the dock, Jake thought it was to represent a flower in the water and Sophie thought it looked like a star. Abu said, \u201cto me it shows how Swansea is a multi-cultural city, I have lived here for some time and realise its friendlier than other places. The colours represent multiple cultures.\u201d<br \/>\nConnor was inspired by the shape of the icehouse and thought it looked like a cannon he also thought that the Marina looked like a battlefield.<br \/>\nSophie and Jay thought that Rebecca\u2019s work was very calm and relaxing however Hussein said that the projectors\u2019 noise counteracted this. Ryan loved the idea of projecting a film onto a painting or drawing and made notes about how he could do his own version. Carla wanted to make a film about her dog playing in the park and project it onto herself.<br \/>\nSimon Whitehead\u2019s \u2018Walking Between Craters\u2019, also created a lot of interest in the group and a general thought was that it would be a great idea to do in their school and look into the history of how their school had changed over the years by asking their parents what it was like when they went there.<br \/>\nJackie Chettur\u2019s work also captured the children\u2019s interest, as the children were eager to see through each view finder, each one telling its short story. \u201cWow look at this there\u2019s a ship on fire and it looks 3D\u201d said Kyle.<br \/>\nAll of the children and the teachers enjoyed the day immensely and are all looking forward to my school follow up visits.<br \/>\nDavid Marchant 2010<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/schools\/danygraig\/danygraig1.jpg\" alt=\" danygraig\" title=\" danygraig\" width=\u201c510\u201d height=\u201c334\u201d class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-603\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/schools\/danygraig\/danygraig2.jpg\" alt=\" danygraig\" title=\" danygraig\" width=\u201c510\u201d height=\u201c334\u201d class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-603\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/schools\/danygraig\/danygraig3.jpg\" alt=\" danygraig\" title=\" danygraig\" width=\u201c510\u201d height=\u201c334\u201d class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-603\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/schools\/danygraig\/danygraig4.jpg\" alt=\" danygraig\" title=\" danygraig\" width=\u201c510\u201d height=\u201c334\u201d class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-603\" \/><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guided Tour of Locws Projects 2010\/2 As we stood outside the Dylan Thomas Centre in glorious sunshine, I introduced the project and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,63,10,161],"tags":[363,67],"class_list":["post-2577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-education","category-locws-schools","category-news","category-outreach-news","tag-locws-schools","tag-locws-schools-2010"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2577"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2577\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6073,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2577\/revisions\/6073"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
