Year 8 & 9 Trip to London

Last week the whole of year 8 and 9 went to London on an Expressive arts trip. We visited TATE Britain so the Year 8 students could see the Lowry exhibition as they are studying his work this year. We then saw The Lion King at the Lyceum theatre as Year 9 studied this musical in drama and music last year. Everyone really enjoyed their day and got a huge amount out of the experience.

Year 7's Art Inspired by Giorgio Morandi

 The Year 7's have been working on drawings inspired by Giorgio Morandi. They have used cross hatching to emulate his etching technique. They thoroughly enjoyed this project and their final pieces show how their hard work and patience paid off.  The attention to detail and awareness of light and shade produced stunning works of art.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Year 6 North American Masks

 

Girls in Year 6 have been working on making their own North American Indian masks. They have researched exisiting masks using oils pastels in vibrant colours to define their pieces. The results are striking and clearly compare to the original masks of the Northern Americans Indians. The girls were very pleased with their work.

 

 

 

The Constitutional Monarchy Association Reception

We were lucky enough to win the school prize of a competion held by The Constitutional Monarchy Association to raise student awareness of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Two girls travelled down toThe Guildhall in Windsor to receive the white board and projector which were presented by Lord and Lady Sudeley. It was a long journey but well worth it!
