Arts Week

On the Friday of Arts Week all the work completed was displayed in the hall. What a wonderful show, colourful well presented and executed art work from the whole school . Inspiration was taken from many artists and a wide variety of mediums had been used. Paintings, papier mache,
cut-outs in the style of Henri Matisse, clay waterlillies and an art installation on the hill of paper poppies taking inspiration from the art work and picture 'Field of Poppies' by Claude Monet. Differing grades of pencil lead were tried out, mathmatical drawings of M.C Escher were demonstrated and print work, with a print of astronaut Tim Peake as a background, over which different blocks of colour were applied. The 'comic-strip' art of Roy Lichtenstein made an amazing impact - a real wow factor ! Congratulations to all staff and pupils in achieving such high standards and a fantastic show.
