DAY TWO AT THE CORO: CHURCH WALK

We had another excellent day today, as you can see the Map is beginning to fill up.  Important  landmarks are being introduced and some really good colour and texture work has shown us the layout of town centre streets and yards in the bottom right.

We also met up with Fran and Lexi, two of the artists who are working on the project alongside the schools.  Fran and Lexi brought in some examples of their work and talked about how they might be going to make their pieces.   The boys and girls had some very good questions, and it was nice to see them talking to Fran and Lexi and looking at their work. They were made to feel very welcome and enjoyed seeing the boys and girls at work.  

We also listened to some of thesounds that artist Pete Dent has been recording around Ulverston for his piece.

                                                                                          

Lexi passed around some of her felted pictures and objects, and Fran showed us here sketchbooks and a montage of images from a walk she had taken around the area. You can see these on the right of this page.  Lexi plans to make a 3-d felted version of Hoad Hill, and will be using wool dyes made from plants that grow in our area.  The  boys and girls carried on working on houses, trees and field for the rest of the session , and at the end of the afternoon we looked closely at the aerial photograph  to see what still needed to be added to the piece.  In the next session the aim is to cover any areas of white board, and to show gardens, streets and any small details that seem important.   So, it's been another really good session, and thanks again from John and Alex for your hard work, and for helping to clear up the mess!
