This initiated discussion about ideas of what sort of work we could make with charcoal in the classroom. Taking the classes thought process and expanding the initial concept, the group became inspired by how it would be good if a giant sketchbook could be lowered onto the 30foot trunk and moved so that marks could appear from the upright pencil. We then started playing around with this concept by using our own pencils and sketchbooks to form mini sculptures in the park on site. This approach was inspiring and a fun way to start the children thinking differently.<br \/> <br \/>\nWe then met in the National Waterfront Museum to view the next installation by Helen Edling, \u201cSjung Sj\u00f6ng Sjungit&#8221; &#038; \u201cHemh\u00f6righeter&#8221;.<br \/>\nMartha asked, \u201cAre the cages to catch or set the birds free?\u201d India asked, \u201cAre the birds trying to save the painting?\u201d and Sian said, \u201cThe birds have been trained to steal the painting\u201d.<br \/>\nLlinos seemed to tie it up by asking \u201cAre the birds doing payback and stealing the miners?\u201d.<br \/>\nWe then popped into the mission gallery where we viewed Alex Duncan\u2019s work and once again were intrigued by the process involved which was definitely inspiring for teachers and children alike.<br \/>\nS Mark Gubb\u2019s, &#8220;Ambition Is Critical&#8221;, seemed to perplex the children although they really liked the designs and colour used in the works. As a Welsh school they felt inspired to work with Welsh Text within their project.<br \/>\nDavid Marchant 2011<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/schools\/gellionnen\/gellionnen1.jpg\" alt=\" gellionnen\" title=\"gellionnen\" 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\/gellionnen\/gellionnen2.jpg\" alt=\" gellionnen\" title=\"gellionnen\" 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\/gellionnen\/gellionnen3.jpg\" alt=\" gellionnen\" title=\"gellionnen\" 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\/gellionnen\/gellionnen4.jpg\" alt=\" gellionnen\" title=\"gellionnen\" 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\/gellionnen\/gellionnen5.jpg\" alt=\" gellionnen\" title=\"gellionnen\" 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\/gellionnen\/gellionnen6.jpg\" alt=\" gellionnen\" title=\"gellionnen\" 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\/gellionnen\/gellionnen7.jpg\" alt=\" gellionnen\" title=\"gellionnen\" 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 International Projects 2011: Art Across The City We arrived at Cwmdonkin Park and viewed Mark Folds\u2019 &#8220;Dylan\u2019s Pencil\u201d [&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":[363,68],"class_list":["post-3622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-education","category-locws-schools","category-news","category-outreach-news","tag-locws-schools","tag-locws-schools-2011"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3622","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=3622"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3622\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6057,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3622\/revisions\/6057"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
