This term ART-iculate has been launched! This is a fantastic opportunity for P6 and P7 children to immerse themselves in the lives and works of the Glasgow Boys and Girls. These painters were a pioneering group of Artists that were driven and motivated; they embraced change, created masterpieces, and became Scottish icons in the process.

Last week the children thoroughly enjoyed four workshops at Kelvingrove Art Gallery, where one room is dedicated to the group. The museum houses an impressive collection of the Boys’ and Girls’ pieces that were created between 1880 and early 1900. The education providers were very impressed by the attitude and knowledge displayed by the children.

P7 and P6 will be given an opportunity this term to choose and research a painting by one of these famous Glasgow Boys or Girls

They will then take part in an upper school ART-iculate competition, to orally present their findings. The finalist will compete in St Mark’s Art Exhibition, 2015. There will be guests in attendance as well as invited judges from Glasgow School of Art.

Have a look at some of our photos from our museum visit last week.
