Wire workshop with artist Celia Smith
Mural with Miss Bunting
There were five successful workshops for children on Saturday. Artist Celia Smith took her first session with us, she introduced her group to working with wire and made 2d birds. A student who worked with Miss Bunting in the wax resist collage group enjoyed it as ’we got to get really messy and do art on a bigger scale’.
Mrs Belinfante and Mr Upward led a fun session combining maths and art for our Yr 11 as an extension to their normal learning. They enjoyed learning how to use bearings incorporating a focus on art coursework. Mr Upward said ‘it was nice to relax with the students’. Miss Dryland took some Yr 10 art students through making a final piece for their current project.
Artist John Ring led a very successful adult drawing workshop where an attendee said that it was great to ‘meet new people and learn a new skill’ and another said they had ‘tried something new and enjoyed a break from the usual Saturday morning routine’.
