This week has been dominated with preparations for our first session of the tentatively titled ‘Roman Merchandising Project’.
The project, funded by the Bristol Decorative and Fine Arts Society, is for Year 10 Art Students at Oasis Academy Brightstowe to work with the artist Julie Roberts, to design and produce a new range of merchandise inspired by Kings Weston Roman Villa, which will be sold in Bristol Museum & Art Gallery Shop.
The first session started at 8:30am at Oasis Academy Brightstowe and we (myself and Kate from Bristol Museums, Galleries & Archives, Marion from Bristol Decorative and Fine Arts Society and Julie Roberts) introduced ourselves and explained the aims and objectives of the project to the students. We then took them on a short field trip to Kings Weston Roman Villa to show them what remains of the Villa and to hopefully inspire them to create beautiful designs.
This project is also one of two projects which Bristol Museums, Galleries & Archives are running for Kids In Museums Takeover Day. So, as well as the students seeing their products for sale in the museum shop – they have participated in a national celebration of children and young people’s contribution to museums, galleries and historic homes.
