Ysgol Gyfun Emlyn, Newcastle Emlyn
Willows High School, Cardiff

7 February - 3 March

Over a period of a week in July 2004, a group of year nine and ten students from Ysgol Gyfun Emlyn in Newcastle Emlyn and Willows High School in Cardiff, worked together on a project that was funded by The Millennium Stadium Fund. The aim was to encourage people to record their observations of contrasting environments in Wales.

The group, together with members of the teaching staff from the school’s art department, spent time at the Pentre Ifan Centre in Pembrokeshire and at the Roath Youth Centre in Cardiff. They visited a variety of locations to gather information in the form of drawing, painting and photography and accompanying them was Peter Davis, one of Wales’ prominent photographers. The staff and students developed their observations into artworks as shown in this exhibition.

The exhibition at Oriel Mwldan is a preview of the Traws Cymru exhibition that is to be held in Cardiff this spring. The show mostly features the work of the adults that took part with some examples of the students’ work in progress. None of the works are for sale at the moment but will be available later in the year and interested persons should contact Glan Morgan at Ysgol Gufun Emlyn.
