Just a quick addition to the last post. What interested me is that the rather random comments by the twins were nearly all based on projects done at school ie. colours on top of colours, shapes on top of shapes, vomiting ideas, taking a book about another world and creating the world from your head.
Other comments again that I haven’t included on their understanding of what art is are all directly from tasks set by the teacher. As you can guess they have had a lot of exposure from attending exhibitions with me etc. but it’s interesting to see what an impact school has had on their thinking. It shows the huge responsibility teaching carries on future attitudes to art.
By the way, the studio opening visit was shortlived. After a quick circuit of the work I managed about 10 mins of a constant chorus of ‘Can we go yet?’ then gave in, picked up a bottle of wine from the supermarket and went home.
