In order to widen the scope of this year's Ashtorre Artists Summer Exhibition, it was decided to devote two screens for community use and invite local primary schools to join us in exploring the theme of 'Journey'.
We received an enthusiastic response from Bishop Cornish and Burraton schools who have a section devoted to their artwork. At the invitation of Burraton School, two of the artists visited classes there to talk about how a professional artist would approach a subject and explore it as they worked to produce final pieces to exhibit.
The artists showed original drawings and sketchbooks and enthused the children to develop their ideas and produce a wealth of exciting artworks. The classes involved represent the oldest and youngest pupils so we should have an interesting variety of drawings and paintings on display in the main gallery space upstairs at Ashtorre Rock.
We hope the children will bring their families to see their creations during the holidays.
