More Sudoku at Easingwold School




On Friday 28th November Patrick Wildgust and Lucy Shortis visited Easingwold School to meet a smaller group of Y12 and Y13 Art students. We looked at slides of the wire sculpture in the Elsinore Library exhibition and the recently completed memorial at Westminster Abbey (illustrated above) and the students worked on drawings of their own names using the same lettering strategy - so that the letters are conjoined and could exist as self supporting pieces of sculpture. We also looked at various examples of how Tom Phillips makes reference to his own works in A Humument (see the sudoku humument page above). Finally we looked at slides showing the variety of materials that Tom Phillips has used to make his sudoku works before each of the students selected nine icons to use in making their own versions.
