Art Department End of Summer Term News
Art Department News
The Art Department has had a fantastic term, with students producing an impressive range of creative and imaginative work across all year groups.
Year 7 students have created these gorgeous, intricately painted insects housed within matchboxes, inspired by the work of artist Kate Kato. They explored collage techniques using text and paper, before adding watercolours and detailed paint pen embellishments to bring their miniature creations to life.
Year 8 students have been developing their ceramic skills by creating delightful pinch-pot cakes. Taking inspiration from the work of Wayne Thiebaud and Joel Penkman, students carefully sculpted, painted and decorated their designs, resulting in a collection of colourful and realistic, sweet treats.
Year 9 students have produced these beautiful textured dragon eyes from clay. Using a variety of techniques to create depth and surface detail, they combined imaginative design with strong technical skills to produce striking and unique ceramic pieces.
The highlight of the term was undoubtedly the GCSE Art and Photography Exhibition. The exhibition showcased the culmination of two years of dedication, creativity, and hard work from our talented students. Visitors were treated to an outstanding display of artwork and photography, demonstrating exceptional skill, originality and personal expression. The quality of the work on display was truly jaw-dropping, and the exhibition was a fitting celebration of our students’ achievements.
We are incredibly proud of all our students and look forward to seeing their creativity continue to flourish in the year ahead.
