Masterclass – feedback

Thanks to all participants for the very positive feedback about the masterclasses.  Here are some of your comments!

The best thing about today…. clay making… the way the theme progressed and developed through the day…clay….clay making….working with clay… using clay… making things with clay….clay by far….drawing the object in wire and lots of different ways…things being made out of clay!

Something I would like to change…less talking… the beginning was too long…nothing…more time to explore the gallery….longer in the galleries….more lunch time….nothing….a chance to pause and look at each others work in the afternoon session and use this to add fresh ideas…nothing it was great!

I am surprised that…. I made so much…objects so old and tarnished were so valued….ordinary objects can be interesting….what drawing with the wrong hand turns out to look like….I could draw well with my eyes closed…I managed to successfully mould a piece of clay…clay was as easy as it was…today was as enjoyable as it was, I thought it wasn’t going to be good…I can draw better when I do it quickly….my lack of drawing skill didn’t matter…I can draw well with left hand… I wasn’t bored…we did not have to draw with a pencil!

When I leave I am going to….practise drawing with my eyes closed…practise what I have learnt today…go on the website…try to do more of the activities…tell my family about my clay work…show my grandad my art…remember a good drawing is not always the most controlled…spend less time concentrating when drawing as I have realised I can draw interesting things in less time…look at everyday objects in a different way…pursue clay making…look at ordinary objects in a new way….take the message back to school that it is important to build on what the students have done here today!

Any other comments….Excellent day, thanks!…good day hope we do it again….organise another….the chocolate torte from the cafe was really good (I agree!)…..better than expected….Excellent day, thank you to everyone who led and supported the day.
