St Joseph’s Primary School Workshops<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the LOCWS tour, I was looking forward to working with this enthusiastic and fun class. The school was very welcoming and we were able to source a lot of materials for our project from the caretaker, therefore helping the environment by recycling! We had sourced an abundance of materials, which included, clear Perspex, metal frames, a basketball stand, lots of card and old wooden chair legs. Everybody was really excited to make art from these materials and had plenty of ideas on the day.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A group had already chosen clay as a medium and were using it to create an art piece based on David Blandy\u2019s work,\u00a0The Devil Meets Dylan Thomas<\/em>. The group produced a stage set of the Devils lair complete with fire.<\/p>\n

Fiona Curren\u2019s St Mary\u2019s based piece,\u00a0An accident waiting for something to happen,\u00a0<\/em>provided a lot of inspiration for several groups. Cael\u2019s group created a piece called \u2018The tree of thought\u2019 and used a large card tube as the trunk, which was adorned with thought leaves. Cael really enjoyed the construction element of this project and was very focussed when we began assembling the piece.<\/p>\n

Fiona Curren also influenced a second group who created a self-portrait and used wooden painted strips of wood for the character\u2019s hair. This self-portrait design was also based upon the Neon work of David Marchant\u2019s. The Perspex sheet also provided us with material for an interpretation of the Neon portraits and using acrylic paint children painted their own self\u2013portraits which were mounted and framed by the Perspex and metal recycled from the caretakers store.<\/p>\n

\u2018Its really exciting making something from nothing\u2019, said Page who did and excellent job of managing her project and was fully engaged throughout the two days. Everybody mad some very creative pieces of art.<\/p>\n
