Gaia: Art and Wonder at the Minster

  • November 30, 2022

This week, some very talented and creative pupils went to the Minster to experience, learn from and be inspired by Luke Jerram’s stunning installation, Gaia, at the Minster.

Measuring seven metres in diameter, Gaia features detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface. The artwork provides the opportunity to see our planet on this scale, floating in three-dimensions. To enhance the spectacle, a surround sound composition by BAFTA award winning Composer Dan Jones is played alongside the sculpture. There was so much to see and discover. We learnt all about how we can protect the planet. We also learnt that Grimsby is one of the leading industries in the world with green/wind energy. To round off our amazing trip we did some beautiful observational drawings of Earth.
