Teacher training -following in the footsteps of teh children, teachers come to Broad Oak Nature Reserve to learn about methods used by the artists. The practical work is the same as the children would do.

  A piece of art is being buil, based on intersecting lines.
Careful postioning of materials and the use of tools can be seen here.
  The teacher training artwork construction works at the same pace as the childrens' work. gathering materials, sorting ot ideas and themes and building the art work can be quite demanding in a short period of time.
Here they have completed an upright representation of a pylon. Willow bark has ben used to tie the sticks together.
  The finished work made by the teachers is based on interesting pairs of lines. More abstracted reference than the previous representational piece.
