Year 5 Self Portrait Studies

Year 5 are exploring self portraits this term and spent a lesson drawing a detailed study in their sketchbooks using pencil. They were asked to focus on correct facial proportion and the different details of the face, such as eye lashes and freckles. The students are now embarking on their final pieces which will be painted in the style of the artist Chuck Close.

Year 7 Mixed Media Self Portraits

Here is just a small selection of the mixed media self portraits produced by last years Year 7 in the Summer Term. The theme was 'Split Personality' and the pupils produced a portrait consisting of four different mediums (acrylic, pencil, fine-liner and collage). They also wrote in the background of two of the sections. The writing in pencil was that students' dislikes, whilst the writing in fine-liner was their loves.

Year 8 Surrealist Collages

This half of term Year 8 have been completing a collage project based upon the work of the Surrealist movement of the 1920's and 30's. The pupils began by researching the movement and the artists involved, such as Max Ernst and Salvador Dali. The pupils then collected images from magazines, concentrating on scale before placing them in a dreamlike arrangement.I think Dali would approve with the art that Year 8 have produced!

Experimental Mark Making with Year 5

This term Year 5 are studying the theme of 'Movement'. As part of this, the pupils spent a lesson exploring movement through experimental mark making. The first half of the lesson was spent creating their own paintbrushes from a range of natural and man-made materials. In the second half of the lesson the students painted with their new paintbrushes using ink. A wide variety of effects were created in this way. The drawings that the pupils created in this lesson will be incorporated into a larger final piece later in the term.
