Art Project - Ogwyn Davies

This afternoon, J5 and J6 started their art project for the half term.




















We are studying the work of Welsh artist "Ogwyn Davies" who lives in Tregaron.


Ogwyn Davies uses writing within his art work and we looked at some of his pieces this afternoon.




















A friend of Mrs Marlow used to live near Ogwyn Davies and has managed to get his address. As a class, we decided to write him a letter.

Here you can see J5 coming up with interesting questions to ask him in our letter.

The children thought carefully and wrote questions such as

1. What inspired you to use welsh writing within your art work?
2. When did you first decide to become an artist and why?
3. What do the words mean within your work?
4. How should we approach our art project, which is similar to your "Wal Gymreig" piece?
5. Any advice you would give us before we start our project?

The children have been set a home challenge to collect different types of fonts and lettering etc form any resource e.g. Internet, packages, magazines, newspapers and have been asked to bring them in next Wednesday.
