All year 9 & 10 students were invited to an action packed workshop ‘Factory Day’ at school so that they could try new techniques and materials in preparation for the wider programme that we are introducing in year 10 towards GCSE examinations.
Visiting tutors included: Olly Ruddick (Art Director, Sony Play station) who ran workshops on CAD design with sneak previews of new PlayStation games, Max Herbert (OH) gave an energetic master class in portrait drawing, Greg Steckelmacher (OH) ran some exciting life drawing groups using a range of different media.
For the new textiles initiatives Miss Shaw introduced ‘Day of The Dead’ themed Silk Painting and Mrs Lewy worked with students to produce an amazing shoal of 3D needle felted fish.
Mr Todhunter ran a popular Mono Printing workshop and Mrs Gleeson had students using the pottery wheels to throw bowls. A messy time was had by all!
We were delighted to have so many other members of staff from other departments along for the day to hone their own artistic skills.
