Art Gallery

After walking Owen to Prep. we jumped on a bus and headed to the Art Gallery in the city. We met up with some friends there and had a look at the Andy Warhol exhibition for kids. They drew a picture of their favourite toy, then they went into a room filled with silver pillows which were floating around. Rosa was quite facinated by them. There were also some interactive computer games about Andy Warhol and then went to Joshua's favourite activity, the slow motion, black and white video. The children stood in front of a silver screen and had 15 seconds to "perform" then stood back and watched it all on the screen, slow motion. It seems that Andy Warhol was quite an interesting character - he loved collecting ..... and more collecting, lining things up, painting things silver... and changing the colour of things so that they were not normal (hence a picture of Mao Tse Tung with orange face/blue lips type of thing). A quote on the wall said that he described himself as very superficial... hmmm... At any rate, the kids area was lots of fun and Joshua even had his picture taken with his friend Sariah:
