Friday 20th January
Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle.
We took a tour around the gallery and enjoyed looking at the different paintings, carvings, sculptures and pieces of art work, discussing what we liked and didn’t like about them.
Our workshop was a sculpture workshop and we started by discussing abstract and realistic sculptures and their features. Fran, our guide, told us that we’ be focusing on abstract sculpture and to get us warmed up we had to make body sculptures! She showed us a picture and in our groups we had to make a sculpture of it. Them we had to do a rough sketch of our partner in an unusual stance. Our sketch was then turned into a clay sculpture which we made piece by piece and moulded together.
We had a great day and came back to school full of ideas and creativeness!
