Stanley Spencer The Resurrection Cookham • The Resurrection Cookham 1924 - 27 Spencer believed that the divine rested in all creation. He saw his home town of Cookham as a paradise in which everything is invested with mystical significance. The local churchyard here becomes the setting for the resurrection of the dead. Christ is enthroned in the church porch, cradling three babies, with God the Father standing behind. Spencer himself appears near the centre, naked, leaning against a grave stone; his fiancée Hilda lies sleeping in a bed of ivy. At the top left, risen souls are transported to Heaven in the pleasure steamers that then ploughed the Thames

Altered Books

Here everyday objects have been altered and turned into works of art books, spoons, clothes pegs, clips. . . birds. Have you got any objects at home that you could work onto and alter and change into works of art?
