Visible Progress

We found a canvas in the depths of the Art room, a fun colourful composition based upon the Year 9 topic 'Africa'

We soon realised it was painted by one of the current Year 13 A2 Art students, so it was a hoot to compare it to her now vastly improved, and developed, painting skills

Well done
 

Year 8 Opie inspired portrait homework task

Here is a selection of the fantastic homework that Year 8 have been handing in. The Aim Higher task was to complete the homework using ICT skills rather than traditional methods.

Year 7 Stacks

The Year 7's have been exploring sculptures by the artist Barbara Hepworth following our trip to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The Year 7's have created paper collage 'stacks' that explore shape, structure, form and balance which will now be used to inspire 3D clay outcomes!

Year 9 'in the style of Jon Burgerman' Product Design

The Year 9's researched and analysed the work of Jon Burgerman. This then informed their designs for a choice of products:

T-Shirt, High Top Trainer, Handbag, Coffee Cup

Mini Show

On January 30th we held a 'Mini Show' to exhibit the final outcomes of coursework projects by; GCSE Art, A Level Art, A Level Photography and A Level Textiles students. It was really great to see such a diverse range of outcomes presented in an exhibition format. Plus, it was a fantastic way to celebrate the students hard work! Thank you to everybody that came along to see exactly what it is we get up to down in the Art department! We look forward to our bigger exhibition in the Summer following the completion of the exam projects (details to follow!).

Here is a small selection of photos from the evening...
