All ready for exploring the galleries!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

We finished with a story from Caroline in a very chilled, laid back story room.<\/p><\/div>\n

Yesterday we took our first group of pre-school children on a trip to the Gallery of Modern Art in Queen Street.\u00a0 We set off on the 9.20 train and travelled into Glasgow, \u00a0full of excitement and anticipation!\u00a0 When we arrived at the Gallery, we were met by a lovely lady called Caroline, who was our workshop leader.\u00a0 She took us into the building and told us that the building was very old and that it had once been a library and before that, a big mansion house.\u00a0 We began our tour by first looking up at the lovely glass dome in the ceiling.\u00a0 The landings in the hall were the same shape.\u00a0 Caroline asked us if we knew what the shape was – Archie told her it was an oval.\u00a0 Not all of us knew that shape.\u00a0 On the first floor landing there was a sculpture made of lovely wood by Tim Stead,\u00a0which we were allowed to go in to.\u00a0 It looked like the inside of a whale – we all fitted inside it.\u00a0 We saw lots of different types of art and sculptures made of lots of different materials.\u00a0 Caroline even showed us a film of a piece of art made from lots of different explosions.\u00a0 She said we maybe shouldn’t try this one\u00a0 in nursery but she showed us paintings and sculptures that we might like to experiment with in our art area.\u00a0 We saw an amazing sculpture by Eduardo Paolozzi and Caroline gave us a huge piece of paper and oil pastels to draw it.\u00a0 We worked really hard and made an amazing drawing to take home. We saw clay sculptures and made art with foam shapes on the floor.\u00a0 At the end of our trip we climbed up to the very top of the building – up above the dome – and had a special story about Barbar the Elephant’s experiments with colour and painting.\u00a0 We learned lots about art using all different materials and had a great time.\u00a0 At the end of our workshop Caroline gave us some leaflets about Saturday morning art classes for 3-5 year olds at GoMA.\u00a0 They are available in the nursery hall if anyone is interested.<\/p>\n
