Year 9 have produced some exciting and beautifully presented surrealist research homework. Over the next few weeks, they will be creating their own surreal designs linked to the theme of inside/outside. I cannot wait to see their final outcomes.

News from Art & Photography
We were lucky enough to have five past pupils from the Creative Arts visit our Sixth form lessons at the end of December. They presented their current work and explained their successful journey into the field of Art, Sculpture and Photography. They answered questions from the pupils and gave careers advice. Thank you so much to Josie Bell, Imogen Patel, Beth Pearse, Courtney King and Ella West for their time and wonderful insights.

Year 9
Year 9 have been working on the theme of ‘outside’ this term. Their experimental work displays an array of skills from inks, pen to collage. After Christmas, we will be observing objects from inside, creating a still-life study. The final outcome, a surreal juxtaposition of both elements of inside and out.
9R
Year 9 created surreal eyes for a class competition. The results were very imaginative and displayed excellent illustrative techniques. Well done 9R.
