Birmingham GAF 2024 continues and we have visited three different galleries, all with very different pieces of art work to discuss and question our thoughts about what art is. We started at The Barber Institute of Fine Arts and saw some awe-inspiring paintings. We discussed the theme, the artist and the style used. We then visited the Lapworth Museum of Geology Arts and our Griffins enjoyed finding out facts about the rocks, bones and fossils. We even met Roary the Allosaurus! He was a very tall chap!
After lunch, we travelled to the Icon Gallery and we explored some very unusual art pieces which really broadened our horizons of what art is. We also took part in a really creative workshop, making pictures using mirrors and torches. The final paintings were all very individual and each of our Innovative Iguanas could explain their thoughts and ideas about their art works.
