My Review by Luke Mcdonald

As we travelled to Liverpool i looked out of the train window and saw trees which I felt looked like Art. On coming into the first gallery in The Walker Art Gallery my first impression was that it was funny. There was a film by Marcus Coates where he was pretending to be a deer.
I didn't like the work by Rachael Goodyear as it looked a bit wrong. The Walker inspired me to think about creating art with Ladders or clothes . I liked some of the painting up the stairs at The Walker Art Gallery, they must have been hard to do and take at least 10 years. We went to the World Museum and I liked that you got to dress up. We went to an exhibition by the photographer Rankin. He had taken big photos of people with conditions like Muscular Dystophy or people who were dying.


My Review by Courtney Dyas

As I set off on the trip I felt cool it was me and you going to scouseland. I liked the sculpture "Chance Meeting" at Liverpool Lime Street station. The man in the sculpture Ken Dodd had a ticker called a tickling stick in his hand and he hung around with little men. I thought that it was cool. The plastic birds in the entrance to the walker by Patrick Murphy were gorgeous. In the Walker I liked the film piece called "Journey To The Lower World", it was different. Looking around the rest of the gallery I didn't like the bronze sculpture called "Homage to Sculpture" by Francesco Bertos. I did like some of the other traditional works like "When Did you Last see your Father" a painting by William Fredrick Yeam. I liked this because it had a story behind it about a father who had escaped from the Civil war and was being tracked down through his son.  I liked the dresses in the Mrs Tinni display at The Walker and this inspired me to try and make costumes. We bought a catalogue of all the dresses to look at later.


My review by kirsty Dyas

To Start off  Tuesday we went to Liverpool's Walker Museum and the world history museum to Get inspiration. I was inspired by the Mummies and the Greek Sculpture. There are two pieces of art work at Liverpool Lime Street Station and I liked Chance Meeting by Tom Murphy best as it is more realistic and a real sculpture.

 I thought that the work outside the Walker by Patrick Murphy was bright and colourful. One of my favorite works in The Walker Art gallery was  an oil painting Spectrum Jesus by Keith Coventry.

 I thought that Haroon Mirza's work was just like a load of stuff in a corner and looked like the mess in my bedroom. I liked the greek room as the Walker best. In the world museum I loved everything. I think that both galleries are good for different types of people. I would recommend the Walker for people who are over 40 because there are more paintings and and not many people who are over 40.
