Over 160 visitors toured the school to celebrate the creativity of pupils from Reception to Year 8. A host of media on show from product design, clay cakes, abstract installations, etchings and wooden automation. Particular thanks to Year 6 pupil Daniel for the wonderful music, and congratulations to our Art, Design and Drama Arts award pupils for showcasing their fantastic portfolios. ART AND DESIGN EXHIBITION Year 7 kicked off the final stage of their portraiture unit with creativity and flair. First researching the street art of Shepard Fairey, famous for his celebrated portrait of Barack Obama. They then selected their own celebrity to render in Fairey’s iconic quadratic painting style (below right).
