Year 6 children took part in a workshop at the Laing Art Gallery this week. First they were met by Simon, a professional artist at the gallery, who showed them work by artist Charles Napier Henry, a well known outstanding Marine and Landscape artist in the North East, from 1841 to 1917. The children looked at how he had painted waves in his paintings then starting with a 'ground' of blue, they worked alongside Simon creating their own painting using ideas from the paintings.
