Year 8 Portraits

Inspired by the work of M.C Escher, Year 8 worked from a fish-eye photo of themselves to draw and paint  portraits of themselves based around one or two colours and black and white for the lights and dark sections.

Year 8 spent a lesson creating experimental shoe paintings using the end of paintbrushes and swatches of cardboard dipped into black acrylic as their method of mark-making.

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!
