Art Exhibition

By Mark Gifford

Do you enjoy going to art exhibitions? I didn’t, until I went to one recently

with my older sister. She’s studying art at college so she really wanted to

go, but I think she was secretly hoping I’d go too, so that she could show

off her knowledge of art – because it’s obvious I don’t know much about

it. Anyway, although I wasn’t really looking forward to it very much, I was

curious to see what was there.

When we got inside the exhibition, we found there were rooms full of

sculptures. They were the work of several well-known sculptors, all on

the theme of people. The first few rooms were full of strange figures

made of metal, and in different positions around the rooms – some

standing, others lying, some even upside down on the ceiling. But the

figures had no expressions on their faces at all, which made them look

very mysterious.

Then we moved into another room where there were groups of

rectangular-shaped pieces of stone, with holes for eyes and mouths. But

to me, the different sizes suggested small, welcoming family groups and I

2
felt very relaxed as I moved around them. The fact that they didn’t have

faces no longer seemed to matter somehow.

After that, we went out onto the roof, where there were a few more

figures, this time staring out across the city. And as we looked, we saw

more figures on nearby rooftops. I remembered then that when the

exhibition first opened, it was very controversial, because everyone

wondered who the figures were! No-one seemed to be worrying about

them anymore, though.

My sister did loads of fantastic sketches while she was at the exhibition,

and she says she’s now got plenty of material for her next art project at

college. She explained that it would be about how people responded to

different faces. It sounded fascinating! As for me, the moment I got home,

I felt inspired to do something creative, and more able to tackle it, too –

so watch this space!
