Year 11 Coursework Day

A full day of painting, printing, refining, annotating and collating.

This week the two main art rooms were full to bursting with two large groups of GCSE Art students as they worked outside of their usual timetables on any elements of course work needing attention. As is apparent in the images below the students chose mostly to concentrate on their 'Portraiture' project. It's a diverse theme with personal and individual outcomes. The photos below show a selection (mainly found on the drying rack) of the endeavours of the day.

 



 

 

Screen printing is a fast and flexible way to add another technique into a student's portfolio. The A2 size of this student's Matisse style portrait brings a dramatic and bold element to her project.
 

 

Blooming Bottles Sculpture

Year 13 Hanging Sculpture

  

This student has been inspired to develop her work into a three dimensional form by studying the work of Dale Chihuly. Jasmine's sketchbook shows the influence of other artists connected to the floral theme. After taking her own photographs she moves on to experiment using fast, thick daubs of paint enabling her to capture the energy, colour and movement evocative of any British garden in high summer. An uplifting 'flower power' reminder of the warmer seasons to come.
