: Oriel 1

Just a few more beauties!

This is a wonderful drawing by Charley of a Jester which ties in with our Tudor art theme.

Don't forget that art activities are running all through August, and if you haven't been before, now is the time to visit as it's generally a little quieter in the galleries when the weather is good!

Art activiites have begun in Oriel 1 for the summer and will continue every day throughout August. It's a drop-in session and runs from 11 until 1 and then 2 until 4. We are looking at lots of things to do with the Tudors and making models of Tudor Buildings.

I'll be adding more pictures as the summer goes on!

I tried out a printing session with young adults the other day. We looked at designs from the 1950s (on clothes from our collections and in books)and then made some prints based on them. The printing techniques were a mixture of relief prints (like lino but using softblock) and monoprinting. Here are some of the pictures which are fantastic! I'll try and get round to adding more soon.

I'm planning on running something similar next year for adults and young adults (aged 16+) so if anyone has any suggestions or would be interested in having a go, please get in touch.

Neges gyflym i ddangos rhai lluniau o beth fuon ni'n creu yn y Cert Celf dros hanner tymor. Mae'r gweithgareddau yn rhedeg tan ddydd Sul, felly mae digon o amser i chi ymweld a chymryd rhan o hyd. Mae rhai gwisgoedd ffansi Tuduraidd gyda fi hefyd y gall y plant eu gwisgo, a chefndir wedi'i beintio er mwyn tynnu llun o'i flaen.

Ceiniogau yw'r thema am fod arddangosfa anhygoel o geiniogau yn yr oriel ar hyn o bryd fel rhan o arddangosfa Creu Hanes. 'Celc Tregwynt' yw'r enw ar y ceiniogau ac fe gawson nhw eu claddu tua 1647 a'u darganfod o'r diwedd ym 1996!

Rydyn ni wedi bod yn lliwio ac addurno ceiniogau Tuduraidd yn y cert celf ac wedi bod yn defnyddio cortyn a ffoil i wneud arian 3D.

Dwi'n credu eu bod nhw'n edrych yn rhagorol.
