Marine Life Year 8

Mixed-media Year 8 Sketchbooks

Inspired by the artists Emma Dibben and Amy Holliday our year 8 students used a variety of media to experiment and explore the watery world of marine life. They had the opportunity to paint using watercolours directly from real fish and created relief prints on polystyrene board. Over the course of the term they adapted and refined their experiments across three interconnecting circles. The following  photographs show how the circles created a successful template which  developed  their  understanding of creative process within art and design.
