Art Club

We have a great team of students from years 7-11 who get creative every friday afternoon! They are all creating hats inspired by different artists with a variety of construction methods.
Ola is creating a wonderfully garrish hat that I could see any fashionista wearing.

Linh and Duy use team work to get the structure of their hat together.



Justin has been inspired by the pop artists and is creating a ring pull hat.



Marianne, Sharmane and Lesley make a great team. I cant wait to see what they produce in the weeks to come.

IB work in progress

The Year 11 IB students are well into their first project: Chiaroscuro- light and dark. Here are examples of pages from thier Investigation Work Books.

Zhen He has been investigating different light effects and how to convey them using a variety of drawing and painting methods.

Ernest has been developing his painting skills using oils for the first time!


Natalie's experimentation with Lino Printing.

Natalie is very intersted in photography and how you can play about with the composition and contrast.




Jing Xi has been looking at Photo Montage and the Artist David Hockney at the same time as developing his drawing skills.
