Travelling Gallery

Primary 4 classes were very lucky to be able to visit the Travelling Gallery, which was parked in the Secondary carpark.

It is a mobile gallery which travels through Scotland bringing modern art to towns and cities

The exhibition was called “Turquoise Heid”. It included drawings, animations, photos, sculpture, film, collage and painting. Artists included David Shrigley and Matthew Barnes.

P4 pupils found out a bit about why the artists decided to create the artwork and about some of the techniques the artists used. It was very interesting.

Euan liked the 3D Beano comic . He said “it looked freaky and seemed to pop out into your face!”

Keira said “I liked the pictures and sculptures at the door. If you put the headphones on you could hear the strange noises  like kettles and people screaming>”

Art Work

Here are a few examples of some of the very attractive artwork that has been produced around the school.

Mr Baird has worked with P7 to produce very eye catching artwork in the style of Pablo Picasso, while Mrs Wills has been working with P6 to produce beautiful portraits in the style of Cationa Millar. P4s have produced some lovely windmill artwork, as part of their study of Scotland.
