Walk E.1 (Constable Walk E.1)
A beautiful Monday on 22 May 2023 saw us recreate John Constable’s walk to school as we embarked on Walk E. We were accompanied by children’s author, Inbali Iserles, and a whole class of excited children from Year 3 of a local primary school, on a mission to experience what it would have been like for Constable to walk to school every day. We stopped along the way to contemplate the view of the ‘Summer Evening’ mezzotint and soak up the sights and sounds of the Dedham Vale. Whilst the children took it in turns to experience the augmented reality view, the others undertook an exercise in observational drawing. Using small, folded booklets of sketch paper, they focussed on small details before turning to a broader view of the landscape. The children were also tasked with remembering the things they saw; the colours, the animals, the sounds, the smells, and the weather for example, in order to undertake a creative writing exercise based on their walk that would take place back in school on the next day.
