Kids get art!
Its not often that Barnsley is linked with the great and the good of the art world but in the Yorkshire Sculpture Park we surely have one of the world's gems. (Despite what they say its closer to the centre of Barnsley than Wakefield) And other than the fact that the trees there are possibly the best thing, there are some truly wonderful exhibitions. The current one showing the varied work of Andrew Goldsworthy is a must see. It has everything you could want in art and you know its good by the response of the people. The comments book in the Long Gallery is a must read and should be published. We took my boys recently, tiring quicker than I did of art created by the dirty feet of sheep, they waited for me outside and meanwhile made their own Goldsworthy inspired art.
So we have Ben's (8) pebble man and Sam's (11) bloody scab art work...rather good I think..and proof unassailably that even though some of the adult visitors there didn't get him the kids totally understood what Andrew was trying to do.

General point, I think there's too much sax on the web already ;). I think htings like blogs could be good for lessons excially project work as you can do team blogs, if you have a file storage site as well you'll be laughing.
