all ready for the opening night tonight. looking forward to see what the 'art crowd' make of our work. will get some video footage of the opening night up on the site soon, so you can see what it was like.
I saw this exhibition on Monday and was really excited by the drawing ability of the pupils, some of the foreshortening on the hands was very impressive. It was also great to see clear definitions in style, you were really able to get an idea of the characters of the individual pupils. Well Done :-)
Thoroughly enjoyed and took something from this piece of work.Ihave to say more so than from the show exhibiting downstairs. Glorious to see individual personalaties shining through to make one unit of work.The concept of the piece and practice behind the drawings once again highlighted why art is necc in our society ( i hope the culture minister gets along to see it this i doubt she doesnt really do culture does she) My point here being thank you to the artist Jack Brown and all the pupils because "they are the future" and this should be celebrated.As you can prob tell i was touched by the piece- would like to be kept informed of any other collaborations this artist will be doing because he obviously has the ability to work with young people without condescending them - to him and the young people who collaborated to make this piece thank you and well done.best wishes Chris.
Great concept and wonderful drawings! Really enjoyed this show, I hope that everyone visiting the gallery will take time to admire the pupil's art work.
What a fantastic exhibition! Some really interesting ideas, quotes and compositions. Can definitely see the individual personalities of all the artists shining through. Congratulations to you all, I hope you are all very proud of what you have achieved and will find a way to visit your exhibition again over the summer. Thank you for letting me work with you all on this project. Emma
This is one of the most interesting exhibitions that we have had in the Education Gallery at the Saatchi Gallery. Its fantastic to see how your drawing skills have built up throughout the project and that each of you are finding a style of your own. I really hope you are proud of this exhibition and that you'll continue to draw and find inspiration.
You are a great bunch of young artists and I'd love you to use the Gallery again in future- just get in touch if you have any ideas!
I've just uploaded some audio files of us discussing the project. go to 'What we thought about the project. audio' to have a listen. really interesting to hear students thoughts on how they hope this exhibition will help others see positive things coming out of Tottenham.
also added photos of evaluative comments from students guidebooks.
hey

spent the day working out how to hang the work - think it looks really - good. two groups of work, one on each wall.

Looking forward to seeing the work in the gallery space on Monday...
