Grove Primary Art Gallery Project - 10th / 11th July 2007

filed under Session Reports July 11th, 2007 Richard Anderson

grove - 07.jpgYesterday, a group of Year 6 students from Grove Primary visited Wolverhampton Art Gallery. They were accompanied around the gallery by Art Interpreters from the Education Team at the the gallery. They also used a PDA tour, written by the CLC in collaboration with the Art Gallery, to explore the Georgian Gallery. The tour challenged the student with a number of interactive exercises to try to understand the symbolism and composition of paintings by artists such as Gainsborough, Edward Turner and Fuseli.

Today, the students attended a follow-up session at the CLC. During the session, students:

  • created their own portrait using images taken, in costume, at the art gallery. (See the online gallery of some of the images)
  • took part in an interactive web quiz.
  • recorded narrations for several of the paintings they saw at the art gallery for inclusion into a virtual, 3D version of the gallery in MissionMaker.
  • recorded a theme song / audio reflections of the experience for inclusion in the virtual gallery
