Sundorne Art students were given the opportunity to visit the
local art college, to sample some of the projects they would
undertake should they chose to go on to further education
when they leave school.
There were three different tasks on offer, this first one involved making
a 'peep box'. Various images were cut out from magazines and
pasted inside a painted shoe box. The lid, or the end flap of the box is
then lifted to reveal the images inside.
The main workshop/classroom as you can see below was a large
spacious room that easily accommodated all the students.
The second project undertaken was to make anthropomorphic
creatures from 'junk' materials. The models were given features and
personalities by the careful selection of parts and components by
the students.
The selected parts were glued together to produce .'junk people' that
the students named and invented a history for.
As you can see by the finished models, they are cute creatures
that with a little bit of imagination can easily be given a history and
life story.
The final task was to create a three dimentional collage using images cut
out from magazines and newspapers.
As you can see from these two examples. they can finish up being
quite colourful, if not a bit quirky.
