There has been some fantastic work happening across the Art Department over the past year. Here are a few highlights:

🦸 Year 7 designed superhero self-portraits and created stunning landscapes inspired by illustrator, painter and photographer Ashes57.

🖼️ Year 8 explored Cubism, taking inspiration from Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Juan Gris. They also created personalised clay totem poles reflecting their identity through animals, heritage, hobbies, sport, music and EGS colours, before producing vibrant mixed-media cubist artwork using recycled tin cans, coloured pens, pencils and watercolours.

🌍 Year 9 created expressive self-portraits inspired by Caribbean multidisciplinary artist Yermine Richardson, celebrating the vibrancy of Caribbean and African cultures.

They also investigated Op Art, producing eye-catching work influenced by pioneering artist Bridget Riley.

Also, a huge thank you to our talented Art students who supported our Year 4 & 5 Open Afternoon, where visitors enjoyed creating raised salt paintings using glue, salt and watercolours.

We’re so proud of the imagination, creativity and skill our students have shown this term. Well done to everyone involved! 👏🎨✨
