Big artwork sets
trend at Civic
A giant collage by children at Shaw’s
Brook Field Primary is now on display in
the corridor next to the offi ces of Swindon
Council’s top councillors and offi cials.
Eight classes using different media
illustrated the 3 metre high work which
interprets David Hockney’s painting Going
Up Garrowby Hill.
Art coordinator Claire Calthorp said
Brook Field has a long tradition of dis-
playing very large artworks in the school
hall and her husband Gavin, the council’s
communications director, had suggested
it could be mounted at the Civic Offi ces.
“They’ve asked me to coordinate displays
of school work in different areas of the
Civic and I’ll be contacting other art spe-
cialists about the opportunity to showcase
their school’s work.”
Alexander Sullivan said he was
impressed to see the work on display.
“There is colouring with pastels, tissue,
glitter, mosaic, felt and quilling. It looks
very bright where they’ve put it. We all
feel privileged the council asked us to
show it off.”
The collage is behind a secure door.
Call the council switchboard on 463000 to
ask to see it. Schools who want to show
off their artwork should mail: ccalthrop@
