Artist of the Month for November: Year 9 Fine Artists & Year 10 Photographers

The Year 9 Fine Artists have made a super start to the GCSE course, working hard both in class and at home. We have some tremendously talented young people here at the academy. We just cannot wait to see how they progress with the first project and the thorough journey of discovery which will lead to a personalised final outcome. Grades of between 4 and 7 are already being awarded for key pieces of coursework. Absolutely fabulous.

Year10 Photographers have certainly been having fun with manipulating imagery. They have been exploring layers and composition to achieve some really imaginative outcomes inspired by studied Photographers. Some have even included their teacher Mr Terry as the main subject in a series of studies investigating scale.

Gifted and Talented Art Events. Thursday 28 & Friday 29 January 2016

This year’s event was run over two afternoons to allow more students the experience and approximately 100 young students from 10 surrounding feeder schools, aged between 4 and 11 took part. The young artists were encouraged to work in teams, constructing a large scale painting, using colour and effects to depict our ‘Wonderful World’ also the title for this years Family of Schools Art Exhibition. They experimented with painting processes and techniques to produce vibrant and exciting creations influenced by lively artists Bjork Carlton, Sue Slack, Wahyu Romdhoni & Dean Russo. The students from Carlton Central Juniors, Carlton Central Infants, Westdale Juniors, Westdale Infants, Haddon, Netherfield, Stanhope, Porchester, Standhill & Pheonix Infant & Nursery performed exceptionally well during the event, enjoying being creative with paint. A number of our budding GCSE artists assisted in the workshop event and helped pupil’s to explore and develop imaginative ideas.

Well done to all
