Give reasons. 19s. 1 the art of making things from wood, metal or stoneLo 1 Martina Gonzales recently took up a new hobby, Sixteen-year-old Martina joined a sculpture class last summer and is already planning her own exhibition, The strange thing is, she disliked art until two years ago. Martina clearly remembers the day she changed her mind. Every Saturday she went shopping in town with her friend Eva. On one particular Saturday they were rushing to meet Martina’s mum at a café near the shops, when they noticed something strange. Did they really see a cow in the street? Yes. There, in the middle of the square, was a life-size blue and gold cow sculpture with spectacular patterns! 2 Martina explains, ‘At first | thought | was going mad! closed my eyes and opened them again. Several Japanese tourists were admiring the cow. Some were taking photos, others were laughing. But what was it doing there? | didn’t know!" 3 Fortunately for Martina, her mum, who was waiting at the café, had more information about the strange ow. While they were drinking their coffee, she showed them a leaflet about an international organisation called CowParade. It explained that individual artists and ‘groups paint the cows for an exhibition in their local town or city. All the exhibitions come together to form ‘the largest open-air art event in the world’. After each event, the cows are sold in an auction to raise money for local charities. Martina was fascinated, so they went to see as many cows as possible. From that moment, Martina wanted to paint a cow, or even buy one, but her mum pointed out that a life-size cow would look silly on their balcony! At her summer sculpture classes Martina learned to make designs in wood, metal and plastic. Her teacher told her to visit exhibitions and experiment with ideas. ‘It’s great fun! Before the CowParade | thought ‘proper’ art was boring ~ something old people go to see,’ says Martina. ‘The cows inspired me. Now I'm working on some wooden sculptures to decorate balconies. I'd like to make much larger designs but it's awkward in our small flat!” Another source of inspiration for Martina was a school trip to London a few months ago. The pupils visited Many tourist attractions including the Tate Modern art gallery. As they entered an exhibition hall, they saw a display of five massive pieces of silver metalwork Martina was amazed. ‘They were giant slides! The largest was fifty metres long and five storeys high! You can actually get on the slide and slide down it at about forty kilometres an hour!’ The tour guide explained that the artist, Carsten Holler, believes these slides are ‘a playground for the body and mind’. But Martina’s favourite piece of information was that Holler installed a slide for Miuccia Prada at her office in Milan so she can descend to the car park quickly! Finally, it was Martina’s turn to try the slides. ‘We booked tickets for the steepest slide. | took a deep breath and let go. | went flying downwards and shot out of the other end onto the floor. Brilliant! It’s art that you can take part in!” Coming up ... on DVD. See page 27 1NeXer 0 a ee Sightseeing WORDZONE Match the words (1-8) from the article on page 19 © to the meanings (ah). a Look!
