Year 7:
All students have worked on drawing apples in a variety of media this term and have them mounted their work onto black card learning and understanding what makes good presentation in Art.

Year 8:
All students in Year 8 have worked on an Alice in Wonderland art project , we have looked at the work of Sir John Tenniel , who drew the original illustrations for the Books by Lewis Carroll. We looked at composition in this project learning what makes a good final picture , the students worked on different pieces and then made a final piece with all the elements . Work on display at the top of A Block if by Olivia , Ruby , Roberta and Julia .
Year 9:
This term students have been drawing shells from primary sources, we scaled up the drawing and then worked with charcoal and chalk pastel . The shells have been slightly abstracted so that students could experiment with line and mark making , the outcomes have been excellent but three of the best final pieces have been framed and put at the school reception, These are by Wiktoria , Pamela and Gabriella from Miss Jakubiak’ s groups .
Mrs Clark has been thrilled with the work by all of key stage 3 this year, the enthusiasm and eagerness to improve their drawings.
