JOHN'S ROSYTH EXHIBITION

Rosyth Garden City Association and Rosyth Parish Church are currently hosting an exhibition of 'Shopping through the ages in Rosyth'. The church hall is the venue for this interesting collection of artefacts and imagery from the 50's onwards. John from our classes was asked to provide some backdrop material for the butcher's installation. See above for local butcher, Jimmy, standing in front of John's excellent beef carcass. Well done, John!

Below are some of the other interesting sights from the show.

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.

TRAINERS

The young team started some trainer designs..
Liam did a watercolour study of a beer mat..

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!

 

Busy Busy.

BUSY FRIDAY AFTERNOON

After a quiet morning, a small posse turned up and got down to some picture-making in the afternoon. Judith and Jenneth worked on their watercolours, Ray carried on with his pencil study of Tom's grand-children and the young team (jay, sanjey, mark and nathan) got down to designing some trainers.

Ray very kindly gifted his portrait to proud grandfather, Tom. Top bloke.
