Exciting Work from Lower School Students

Our Lower School Art room has had a recent injection of colour from Mrs Hornet's year 7 and 8 groups. Using a variety of skills and tecniques final pieces have been made from clay, cardboard, wood and mod-roc.
Year 7 students studied masks from around the world and this display shows a variety of work
made in lesson and for homework in an extened task.


This term Yr 8 students looked at Mythical Creatures as the theme and we chose to look at Gargoyles.
Students studied gargoyles from round around Europe and then had to design their own. Large drawings of these designs were completed in charcoal and chalk. Students then developed their Three dimensional clay construction skills and used their knowledge of Gargoyles to design their own characters using clay.
