Wild Escape, Thelma Hulbert.

Wild Escape, Thelma Hulbert.

 

Another inspirational day out for our young artists today, beginning with a guided tour around the beautiful Thelma Hulbert Gallery. We were all fascinated to see the different artistic representations of the Blackdown Hills, the children stunning us with their fantastic insight and observational skills. 

From there, we worked on another collaborative artwork: a collage of an invented landscape where we might imagine the Honiton Hippo roaming. Starting with rivers and seas, children built and built upon the landscape, layering earth, rocks, plantlife and eventually some human settlements. 

The finished work was certainly something to be proud of: the curator of the museum even came to view the piece and has said it may end up as part of a future exhibition!

We are so proud of these talented and creative artists. Next week promises to be very special indeed!
