COMPTON VERNEY ART GALLERY

We visited Compton Verney art gallery, which is near where my grandma and grandad live. First, we looked at the pictures in the gallery. I liked the landscape pictures of the volcanoes. They were painted by artists during the 1800s. We did some art activities:

CAMERA OBSCURA
I really liked using the camera obscura to copy the landscape outside. It works by mirrors.


OUTSIDE
Lots of people had made a shop using only felt tip pens and bits of cardboard. I made Claire's Accessories.




MAKE UP YOUR OWN COLOURS
I made up my own colours. The lady asked us to give them names, which I did not have time to do because I decided to paint a landscape. The outline of the landscape was copied from a painting by the famous painter Constable.

    Glad to see you had such a lovely visit to Compton Verney, it is a lovely Gallery in a beautiful setting I just wish they would change the exhibitions more so I could justify going more often! The Camera Obscura seems very popular it is very clever isn't it. I like your Constable painting too, did you see the exhibition of British landscapes while you were there?

    I dont think we saw the exhibition of British landscapes, although I would probably have like to.
