Guided Tour of Art Across The City 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

Had a great tour today with a dedicated class of listeners who were really enthusiastic about the Artworks on show. After initial introductions we viewed Fiona Curran\u2019s An Accident Looking For Somewhere To Happen.<\/em> Dylan said, \u201cIs it a birds nest?\u201d Aaron said,\u201d Looks like a tank\u201d and Kian commented, \u201cit looks like a collapsed bridge or a tree house\u201d. There were a few ideas already floating around about how the group could interperate a similar idea within the school grounds.<\/p>\n

Nikita asked if David Blandy\u2019s, The Devil Meets Dylan Thomas,<\/em> was a miniature amusement arcade as everybody had a go and really enjoyed. Leah asked if she could make a little animation in response to this work, using some characters of her own.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Phoebe thought that Jock Mooney\u2019s work was mounted on a large spanner and thought that the Swansea Devil<\/em> was a man with donkey\u2019s ears. \u201cIs that the Swansea Jack?\u201d said Keely. \u201cIs there a spider crawling over the ice-cream,\u201d said Kian and Aaron asked if the woman was from Antarctica, as he thought she was wearing a large hat. After the work was explained it made a lot more sense.<\/p>\n

Phoebe had already seen Rik Bennett\u2019s and Sean Puleston\u2019s work on the High street and she really liked the shapes and colour used within both artworks.<\/p>\n

The children thought that David Marchant\u2019s Neon Artwork was wild and wacky. After understanding the process of working with the public they thought they could do this in school and use self portraits on a kebab combining Marchant\u2019s and Mooney\u2019s work. Matthew thought that they were really cool and said he was going to ask his parents if they would bring him down to see them lit up later on. Lauren thought that the thought process was creative and wanted to recreate lined portraits from coloured paper and stick them on the windows of the classroom.<\/p>\n

The children loved playing in Tatham & O\u2019Sullivan\u2019s Shelters<\/em> and said they reminded them of their school shed they had in their playground. Holly thought they were bird watching lookouts.<\/p>\n

At the end of the session it was clear that the children had really enjoyed the Artworks and were full of ideas and were visualising them in their school grounds.<\/p>\n

Carrie Richard\u2019s the class teacher said, \u201cthe Artworks really made the children realise that art can be lots of different things and it opened their eyes to what art is\u201d.<\/p>\n
