Year 6 Gallery Opening

We all really enjoyed our Gallery topic and it culminated in the fantastic opening of Pendoylan's first art gallery, "Gallery6". We invited our parents, governors, staff and all the school to view our work and they all attended our grand opening to view our paintings, pastel and collage work, as well as looking at our "Under Milkwood" corner featuring work inspired by Dylan Thomas and Peter Blake.

We all dressed as artists for the day and of course we couldn't open our Gallery without having refreshments! We all made cakes inspired by the artists we had studied. We had Monet's, Water lily Swirl cupcakes, Budding Picassos and Seurat's Pointy cakes. They were our edible masterpieces. 
                                                   Lovely!

A big thanks to Mrs Skelly and Mrs Rhys for helping in the evening and Mrs Skelly and Mrs Baker for helping with the baking. xx

 

It all started with a visit to the National Museum of Wales. Here we are in the Dylan Thomas gallery.

 

We visited the Welsh Landscape Gallery and the Impressionist Gallery. It was truly inspiring.

 

A former pupil of the school, Miss Olivia Tutton has just graduated in Fine Arts and she brought her work in to show us and she also came in to help us set up our gallery too. Thanks Olivia we loved your work!

 

"Gallery 6" is ready and waiting!
