I visited Cookstown School for the first time on Tuesday.  It was an early start on a cold winters morning.  I took some photos of my journey.

It was great to meet Miss Murray and all the class.  We chatted about the project, about what an artist does and looked at some of my drawings and sculptures.  The work that I showed them was all completed in different countries, and as i had to travel to get to see them the theme of journeys started to emerge.

Using google maps we looked at the journey I had traveled to get there and we decided to make some drawings of journeys that we all make, from home to school, from the class to the yard, just very simple drawings mapping the route.

Over the break Miss Murray had a great idea.  There was still snow on the ground outside so, putting on wellies and coats she took the class outside to make their journey drawings outside on the snow. I stayed in the warmth and made a little film.
