\"Killermont<\/a><\/p>\n

You may have read about our collaborative school activit<\/a>y at Killermont Primary School, in Bearsden? This 6 metre long frieze is the result of P6’s hard work & creative flair.<\/p>\n

After thinking about the work of Willie Rodger<\/a>, individual figures were printed by each pupil. These silhouettes represent Bearsden commuters<\/a>, dashing to and from the railway station. Next, the class cut up pictures of local housing built following the arrival of the railway in 1863 – bringing businessmen & prosperity to New Kilpatrick<\/em>. Finally, the local buildings & commuters were collaged together.<\/p>\n

The class proved to be highly successful art detectives too – at home they researched the artist Willie Rodger using Scran. They shared their findings in class the following day. Astute observations were made & we discovered plenty of visual clues hidden in the imagery.<\/p>\n

Following a group vote, with 6 votes each from of a class total of 32, the two most popular Willie Rodger artworks were The Chess Players<\/a> & Honeymoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n
