Pentrehafod comprehensive school
Guided tour
A thoughtful day was had by all, as the group tried
to unravel the work in the
Locws 3 exhibition and an obvious interest was portrayed as the students
continued to discuss the art as we walked to the various venues.
Some interesting comments were made when viewing Rhona Byrne’s work
in St.Marys church; “How God views Swansea”(Emily), “Perhaps
its to do with creation, the beauty of the natural contrasted with the
city”(Joel).
Torsten’s work was considered to be a jumpy experience for some,
others seemed to be perplexed with why it was considered to be art. Joshua
commented on the fact that, “ these were everyday items put together
to make music from”. Jamie and David thought that it had some historic
influence, which was set up to make a song.
Rebecca and Joel commenting, “is it to do with global warming and
this is how we will have to live in the future, because that’s all
we will have left to make houses from and live”, unravelled Sara
Rees’ work. Courtney thought it showed how unfortunate some people
were and how they might live.
Niamh’s work brought up questions about migration, borderlines and
maps. (Yasmin, Josh and Jamie).
Milena’s work questioned some of the group’s idea of art.
Emily and Rebecca saw a child’s perception of war and thought the
imagery to be sad. When Vojta was viewed the majority of the class found
the video emotional and linked it with the child’s image. Questions
arose such as, “did his father die in the war” and ‘what
was the music a reminder of”(Yasmin and Sam).
Whilst on route to Sa1, I overheard a philosophical conversation regarding
Milena’s sound installation, “it’s was like living your
life by quotes, choices, “do you want coffee? Why don’t you
have a watch? “How you make choices and how much they effect your
life .You make up –the choices that you make you who you are”(Emily
and Jessica).
Carwyns work gave some the impression of an illusion. “It’s
2d but looks 3d” (Rumia, Rebecca).
We finished the tour with the group being slightly perplexed with Rebecca’s
work in the Norwegian Church. They found it difficult to unravel and a
lot to take in all at once. However after the explanation the general
consent was that the group liked the uniqueness and thought the idea was
very clever.
