It may be nearly the end of term but we continue to broaden our Griffins鈥� horizons and help them to widen their art knowledge. Year 6 visited the New Art Gallery in Walsall and explored some breath-taking and thought-provoking pieces of art. The first display we viewed was a selection of art exploring the year 2020 and the major events that took place, and the pieces really encouraged the children to share their thoughts about what they saw and recognise how powerful art can be to share a message.聽聽Even a picture that just said, 鈥淪top doing stupid things鈥� inspired Thomas to say, 鈥淚t鈥檚 amazing how four words can have such meaning.鈥�
We also explored landscapes and sculptures, met several of the artists and even became weather forecast reporters, using pictures of flowers as our inspiration. The children also enjoyed exploring the floor with art works for sale. We weren鈥檛 sure about the dustcart on sale for 拢19,000! It certainly got us talking!
