TRONDHEIM PARKWAY - THE ROAD TO DULOCH PARK





Morag's drawing of Trondheim Parkway (above) as it once was and a photo of the iconic buildings on the way out. Trondheim Parkway is now the gateway to the massive housing development, Duloch Park. Tom's watercolour (below) shows the now depopulated area, a far cry from hustle and bustle of the once celebrated flats. Some say for the better, others not..


Duloch Park develpment, in all its vastness, has it's own infrastructure, including a Tesco superstore. Art room regular, Ray provided the photo below, showing the area pre-development.

JOHN'S EXHIBITION IN ROSYTH



Last week's post featured John painting a side of beef for the above exhibition. Memories of shopping in the 1950's, an unrecognisable world for today's Red Bull Pot Noodle yoof.

TUESDAY 20 APRIL


PORTRAITS..




Judith completed her portrait of Natalie, which I will be passing on to Natalie herself as part of my Nine Trades of Dundee Project. I'm sure Natalie will be well chuffed with this painting.



Harris Grieve, budding artist, takes time out from drawing Wall.E to show how photogenic he is - i'm biased, of course. Good to see the younger children enjoying the space as much as the more senior members of the class.



Check out John with his beef carcass. John offered to provide some illustrations for an exhibition in Rosyth about the 1950's. He thought this bold image might give the younger folks in the class a lesson in where their foodstuffs actually come from!
