Programme 1999
There
are many other ways to use these exhibitions apart from the ideas outlined in
the Events Programme below.
We welcome visits from all age groups and are
keen that the exhibitions should be used in any manner which is appropriate to
the topic that the class is studying.
If we can be of any assistance, please give us a ring.
6 November to 16 January
SUDBURY'S
CHOICE
Gainsborough's House, like most museums, is able to exhibit
permanently only a small proportion of its collection. For this exhibition no
holds are barred: a group of townspeople have been invited to select their
favourite items and explain their choice. The show will contain some surprises:
Gainsboroughs and anonymous works, grand and modest pieces, drawing and
figurines: maybe even a fountain! (More
details...)
We invite you to bring your school and make your own choices from our
exhibition; individual choice, class choice, school choice.
This process should be a good exercise in decision making and justifying
those decisions. Maybe the class could decide on the pieces from our exhibition
that they would choose for their own exhibition, make drawings of these pieces,
write down their reasons for their choice and the resulting piece of class
collaboration would be exhibited of the Gainsborough's House noticeboard for all
to see.
6 November to 16 January
CHRISTMAS
GIFT
Jewellery, ceramics, textiles and other artefacts by selected artists and
designer-makers from all over the country provide this delightful annual
Christmas feast for the eye. (More
details...)
As in previous years we are inviting sixth form groups interested in the
business side of the craft and fashion industry to come and her about it first
hand from one of our exhibitors. These talks have proved extremely popular and
bridge the gap between business and the arts.
There are many other ways to use these exhibitions apart from the ideas
outlined in the Events Programme above.
We welcome visits from all age groups and are
keen that the exhibitions should be used in any manner which is appropriate to
the topic that the class is studying.
