In our final classroom-based workshop this week we looked at Propaganda Posters and Trench Poetry.
We took inspiration from the collection at Fort George including a poem written by 8384 Private W Hendry of the 2nd Royal Scots: ‘In the Trenches, somewhere in France’
….next week we’ll take a trip to the fort itself and continue our research in-situ.
I’ve been exploring WW1 medals, honours and awards with a group of local primary school children. We’ve taken inspiration from medals found within the collection at the Highlanders Museum, Inverness.
The workshop also considered shape, design, context & colour when creating our imaginary awards.
