The family workshop today was busy – very busy. For over 2 hours children came & went & sometimes came back again. They drew all over the gallery windows and the windows in both entrances to the building with chalk pens. They filled their “window boxes” with flowers, trees, the occasional tank & aeroplane and some interesting semi abstract patterns. We should have said no to writing and we would have avoided a lot of “dudes” in speech bubbles and references to football teams. In the end we wiped away most of the writing and kept just the drawings.
The children also made a lot of small collages but not many made it onto the exhibition wall – most were taken home which is how it should be.
