A Magical Day In Buck Wood

Thursday 8th May saw our group of 11 young people from Salt Grammar School making their first trip to Buck Wood in Thackley with Angie and Viv, along with Arts Project Officer Mrs Graham, and Dr Alvin, a local historian and Chair of the 'Friends of Buck Wood'.

Buck Wood is a wonderful green space with a very interesting past, and on Thursday, the fabulous warm sunny weather turned it into a magical outdoor art classroom.  There will be more information about Buck Wood's history in a later post and plenty more pictures of the artwork we made.  In the meantime, here are some photos that hopefully capture the spirit of our day outside.

i really liked doing art outside because we got to choose what we wanted to draw ( almost all tree's ) and we had really good weather because it was really sunny and warm. I liked drawing all of natures best part in the woodland and over all it was fun and very educational.
Thankyou to the people who made all this possible.

I enjoyed looking at nature and hearing all sorts of birds.( woodpeckers,cuckoos and others.) I searched into the woods to find some plants and feathers for my collage.I saw some creatures under some rocks and soft wood.

Wow! This looks great. I really love that ink drawing!

I'd love to do something like this where I am, but nothing around here looks as lush as that - everything outdoors is brown and crispy from the drought!!
