Art Service

A couple of weeks ago we were given a great opportunity to start a service for SOMC (Society of Moral Charities, visually handicapped). Myself and a group of grade 9's and 7's help the clients create a variety of arts and crafts. The challenge is what is appropriate for someone who has visual difficulties. So far they have engraved into foam board and printed in response to the texture of shells, created textural collages and created clay models reacting to music. I have been really impressed with the interaction between clients and students and think that this service is going to be very worthwhile for all.




These are some of the resulting collages.

Grade 9 IGCSE Gallery trip to 8Q Singapore Art Museum

The grade 9's went to the 'This is not a Print' exhibition as part of their Print and Pattern project. They observed all the different types of print making by some of the best known print makers such as David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein and Jasper Johns. The students then made their own observations by drawing and reflecting on their favourite exhibits. This was a vital part of their analysis in the project. The prints were all very varied and it was interesting to see how the medium can be manipulated into many forms such as three dimensional sculpture. I hope that this will enable the students to diversify their designs and push the boundries of the media. I look forward to seeing how their own printmaking develops. They are currently working on a reduction lino print.

IGCSE- Identity boxes

Grade 9 IGCSE Art students created three dimensional boxes showing aspects of their identity and personalities. They had the challenge of using a variety of materials and their imagination and were inspired by the Artist Joseph Cornel.
