Stonehenge Visitor Centre Plans
14/10/2009 by James.
I’ve mentioned this briefly on my twitter page (jamesaldridge4), but here’s some links to info and images released on the new visitor centre for Stonehenge.

BBC: Proposals for a new £25m visitor centre at Stonehenge have been unveiled by English Heritage http://miniurl.org/09c
and a photo of what Stonehenge should look like after the road that cuts across the avenue has been scraped off and grassed over…

Making Tracks… the final session
14/10/2009 by James.
Yesterday myself and Laura, the education officer from Salisbury Museum, ran the last of these creative family learning sessions at Kiwi School.
As you might know by now, we have been exploring the Stonehenge landscape and its ancient and military history and using mark-making to document and reflect on our experiences.
On this last session, Laura talked to the families about the beaker pots that are sometimes found in the barrows linked with Stonehenge, and we explored outside to find our own tools to make marks into clay.
We also got messy with acrylic paints, exploring the sensory qualities of the paint, mixing colour, and drawing on the last few sessions to create work inspired by Stonehenge and its surroundings.
Its been a great project to run with the Museum, and brilliant to see so many of the mums (as well as their children) get fired up by experimenting freely with creative materials, and learning about this ancient site almost on their doorstep.
In January we’ll be putting up an exhibition at the Museum, sharing images and artwork from across the project, showing how the creative activities, the artefacts provided by the museum and the National Trust, and the visits to the landscape itself, have all come together to support each family to gain something different from the project and its free, responsive approach.
Keep an eye on the museum website for more information on the exhibition, due to run from January to March 2010…. www.salisburymuseum.org.uk
