Y9 & Y10 Homework - Gallery Visit open until June 29th

Dear Y9 and Y10s Homework Due - July 1st

As the conclusion (Y10) or start (Y9) of your on the Sea,  I would like you to visit the exhibition Bearings at the Quay Arts in Newport to see the work of Caroline Underwood. The exhibition is on until June 29th. You are expected to take photos whilst you are there and create a piece of art work inspired by the exhibition - any size and any material - this might be a drawing that you make whilst at the exhibition or a large painting on A1 paper! You are expected to fill between 2 - 4 pages in your A4 Sketchbook or 1-2 page in an A3.

Take a look at the video - you can use this to write about her work in your sketchbook.

Watercolour Exhibition and Prize winners

Congratulations to our GCSE Art & Design students who took part in The Most Painted Place Competition.  

1st prize went to Katie Murray-Smith Y9, joint 2nd prize to Fauve Hooper-Phelps and Ada Kohlmaier-Sims Y9 and runners up were Mollie-Louise Scriver Y9, Maddie Morgan-Huws Y10, Sam Legg Y10 and Millie Kerr Y9. 

The students received a combination of a limited edition art book, cash prizes and book tokens. Their work was displayed at an exhibition at the Ventnor Botanic Gardens over half term. Students had to paint a view in watercolour of Steephill Cove or Bonchurch. 

The Y10 students had an opportunity to draw on location and work with watercolour artist Becky Samuelson. 

We also had two prize winners for the art essay competition Ada Kohlmaier-Sims won first prize and Millie Kerr won second.  Well done to all the students who took part.
