Tate Modern Visit

Fourteen year 6 pupils went to the Tate Modern Gallery with Mrs Rowlnad on Tuesday 9th February. We arrived, had lunch and then met an artist who showed us around.

Throughout the day, we participated in two great activities in pairs. Our favourite activity was making a huge mess around the gallery with wool. Trailing different coloured balls of wool through sculpture rooms, we created visual art with patterns and lines of wool. The public were defiantly confused! While we were doing this, we gazed upon a room filled with human hair! After that we collected up the wool to create a vibrant mixture of colours.

Next, we looked around a different part of the gallery and our second assignment was to look in newspapers. We had to find: a powerful verb; a place and a noun. Using this variety of words we created our own sentences which made us laugh when we read them out. Then we had to try and match our sentences to a piece of art work in the gallery.

To summarise, it was a brilliant experience as well as a great day out.
