Diolch mawr i Richard Cynan / A big thank you to Richard Cynan for leading another fantastic set of Photography sessions inspired by Anselm Kiefer.


AMSER KIEFER AMSER NI: 3/3/2012 – 30/3/2012


Mewn sesiynau gyllidwyd gan ARTIST ROOMS i gydfynd ag arddangosfa Anselm Kiefer o weithiau ar bapur, mae pobl ifanc lleol wedi troi’r hwdi holl-bresennol yn hysbysfwrdd ar gyfer negeseuon ar ddiwylliant Prydeinig yn Amser Kiefer Amser Ni a mae aelodau Clwb Ieuenctid Dolwyddelan wedi defnyddio animeiddio ffram llonydd i greu chwedl werinol newydd sy’n cyfuno mythau Almaenig a Chymreig.

Through ARTIST ROOMS funded sessions in conjunction with the Anselm Kiefer exhibition of works on paper, local young people turn the ubiquitous hoodie into their own message board on British culture in Amser Kiefer Amser Ni (Kiefer’s Time Our Time) and Dolwyddelan Youth Club members have used stop frame animation to create a new folk tale that combines elements of German and Welsh myths.

Teacher’s talk with David Nash / Sgwrs i Athrawon gan David Nash




David Nash gave teachers a unique opportunity to have a walk through with him to discuss his exhibition in Mostyn and the various aspects of his artworks. Teachers and Nash discussed the skills he uses that could be transferred into the classroom and the different approaches to sculpture. It was an extremely inspirational talk and we would like to give a big thank you to David and all the teachers who attended.

Rhoddodd David Nash gyfle unigryw i athrawon gerdded drwy ei arddangosfa gydag e gan drafod ei gyflwyniad yn Mostyn ynghyd â gwahanol agweddau o’i waith. Cafwyd trafodaeth rhwng yr athrawon â Nash am ba sgiliau oedd yn addas i’w trosglwyddo i’r dosbarth a gwahanol ymdriniaeth tuag at gerflunwaith. Roedd yn sgwrs arbennig o ysbrydoledig a hoffwn roi diolch mawr i David ac i’r athrawon fynychodd.
