These are examples from the year 10 textiles printed natural forms project.

Dr Lizzie Burns is both a scientist and artist, and alongside Dr Lorna Williamson talked to our Year 8 students about Pathology as a career, mixing science and art, using drawing in research and looking at microbiology.

Year 8’s made a large collaborative art piece in response to cells, bacteria and viruses. It was good to have Year 8’s see how art mixes with Science in the real world, the artist spoke about anatomical drawing and how drawing both healthy and unhealthy organs is important for the sharing of knowledge.

Ready for the 225 celebrations

Examples of a year 7 photography task where they had to take photos responding to an artist with fauvist characteristics

This years annual Arts festival is themed on the 225th birthday of the school, with stories of school days past, numbers and the making of a huge birthday cake….

Many thanks to all that attended this years shows. We were delighted by the turnout and very proud of the students and their achievements.

The art department hosted two workshops this week for Primary teachers to share printing techniques and skills, we were delighted with the prints they made. We think the children in Primary Schools will enjoy using this technique too.
