Metal giraffe arrives at school!
Pupils of Grangetown High School were surprised to find a 7-metre-tall metal giraffe in their playground on Monday morning. The sculpture was a gift from the artist Tom Bennett. The headmaster had seen the giraffe in the artist’s garden and thought it would be a perfect addition to the school. He asked his pupils to write letters to the artist. Six weeks later, the artist delivered the giraffe for free.
Tom Bennett, a former professor of chemistry who retired in 2006, started making things out of metal a couple of years ago. He says he has always been an artist and loved drawing. His first drawing, he remembers, was of a horse on his first day at school, but he doesn’t think it was very good.
His first project with metal was a bicycle for himself and his wife, but it was so uncomfortable that he stopped and went into sculpture. His first sculpture was a cat, but it didn’t look right, so he turned it into a lion. This became popular with local children, who enjoyed sitting on its back.
Tom wants his sculptures to look like real, living animals. The pupils haven’t named the giraffe yet, but the school will hold a competition to decide on a name.
