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...

Y8 Group Work

Three Y8 groups were given the theme TEXTURE and an inspiration image of coral. They were shown a number of techniques, a few guidelines of what should be included, a success criteria and then provided with a grey rectangle of card each. In  self chosen groups they collected resources, planned, painted, stuck, made a mess(!), cleared up and developed final outcomes. A number of times along the way I wondered if giving so much free reign was crazy, but they did well and certainly enjoyed themselves. Well done.

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!
