Set Painting for Into The Woods

Over the past few weeks Ms Pickering and our talented art technician Marianne have worked every spare moment to complete this incredibly detailed and atmospheric backdrop for the current school production- Into the Woods. The dripping and splatted acrylic paint is built-up in layers. The muted colours saturate the back wall of the stage with creeping trees and silhouette of swirling crows. Working on a huge scale shows how the movement and action of the brush along with the thickness of the paint work together to create a foreboding and sinister woodland- perfect for the fantastic performances happening throughout this week.
