Did you notice a strange bus parked at the school gates this morning ? St Nicholas pupils were very lucky to experience a visit from the Travelling Gallery with the exhibition called Alt-w Blush Response . Inside the bus we were able to experience several pieces of contemporary art and discuss the meaning and construction of each piece.

Torsten Lauschmann created a painting on a solar panel and we thought that the image may represent people taking photographs with their smartphones at a concert. We were impressed with the fine detail in the wooden model constructed by Charles Young who had studied architecture. We then enjoyed the interactive installation representing the Crinan Canal on the west coast of Scotland and discussed the process of laser etching.

Finally we discovered virtual reality looking through glasses at the apartment design by Dennis and Debbie Club for a tower block in Glasgow.

Thank you to the Travelling Gallery for visiting our school. If you are interested in visiting the bus on their tour please use the link below:
