On Wednesday, thirteen pupils from Allerton CE primary met with eight graphic design students from Leeds Beckett University at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. It was the first workshop of the ‘Barking Up The Wrong Tree’ project and blessed with a beautiful autumnal day we were certainly able to appreciate the outdoor gallery and create.
Inspiration came via Giuseppe Penone sculptures and exhibition, the beautiful trees in the park as well as our imaginations. The purpose was to build relationships and generate ideas for the project. Here is a glimpse of what we got up to:
- Captivated by the thorns
- Intrigued by the hollowed tree
- Does a tree bleed?
- Marble or plaster cast?
- Creating…
- Working together
- Working independently
- Capturing the plasticine sculptures
- Reciting our poem
- Agreeing our diamond 9
- Lunch time!
- Making our way to the ‘Iron tree’
- Creating our own tree sculptures…
- with sticks…
- and plasticine
