Year 7 Birds

A huge well done to 7ML and 7CH who have created these fantastic birds. This project taught the students about colour theory (in a different way!). It also gave the students the opportunity to develop their painting and drawing skills. The Year 7's were inspired by the work of Mark Hearld. Well done Year 7 - we are really looking forward to seeing what you create next!

Day of the Dead

The first project that the current Year 9's completed in the Autumn term was based around the Mexican festival 'The Day of the Dead'. This was the first time the Art department has taught this project and there were some brilliant, original outcomes! This project gave the Year 9 students the opportunity to explore a different way of life, Art from another culture, and the use of mixed media to create final pieces.

Below are some great examples - well done Year 9!

Csenge Nemeti in Year 9 has been learning how to digitally draw/paint in Photoshop. This is a beautiful piece of artwork that shows just what can be achieved with a digital package.

Classroom turns into Photographic Studio

The backdrops that were installed over the Summer have become an extremely useful tool, and very well used, by the Photography students.

Any donations of studio lighting and equipment would be gratefully received!!!
