Grayson Perry Exhibition and Workshop

Monday 11th September 2023

Mrs Zielinski’s S3 class have been out of school to visit an exhibition and take part in a practical workshop. They explored, discussed and interpreted a range of artworks during the Grayson Perry exhibition at the National Gallery, Edinburgh. Led by gallery staff member Robin and practising artist Morgan, pupils identified and discussed narratives that were communicated through the artist’s use of imagery.

Inspired by the exhibition, pupils then took part in a practical workshop. The session allowed them to begin to explore creative approaches to communicating messages of social importance that impact young people in Scotland and our local community. Following the excursion we will welcome Robin and Morgan back into school to work with us for six weeks on a community project, building on the initial work already explored. We very much look forward to this exciting opportunity and we will ensure we share how things progress with you in the coming weeks.
