Happy New Year
This wasn’t the way we expected to start 2021 but as we do like to find the positive…. there are many artists who have developed their practice in unexpected ways by the confinements of working at home… Firstly though, here’s some Level work from the end of last term just to bring some joy… Their work is fantastic…
Y12 Lockdown Painting #3
Some more examples of fabulous painting from our Y12 cohort at home.. There will be more exciting work coming, Watch this space!
Amazing Sketchbooks
Students often ask about using sketchbooks. They are not like Art Coursework books, where you might work through a project or journey… Instead they are small, carry around with you collections of drawings in which you might try and capture a person, a scene or object. The key is experimentation, different materials, and using lots of mark-making to capture something.
These are examples of our A’Level sketchbooks, they are small (often A5) and we really like their expressiveness..
Y12 Lockdown Paintings #2
Some more fantastic portraits.
Well done Y12
Using a Sketchbook…
Dear fantastic art students
We have found a number of rather interesting sketchbooks online, which might inspire you to explore different approaches to drawing. They are really worth looking at (once you’ve opened one, scroll/click through to see the pages) and I hope you feel inspired!
