Our current exhibition at St. Julian's Palacio

I wish to share with you a few pages from our school magazine with examples of work from year 6 to year 9, which are now on display in our gallery in the Palacio. These pages were published on the Lighthouse magazine two weeks ago.

Drawing bottles and glasses

Today I found these images of last summer's year 9 internal art exams . We ask students to draw a bottle and a glass using a pencil. They have one hour and 20 minutes to do it and we ask them to try to apply all the techniques they have learned to the best of their ability. We then mark them on specific criteria such as quality of line, shading, mark making, composition etc. Looking at these I am impressed with how our students can draw at this age.

We are back with Life Drawing

Dear readers, once again I ask for your apology for the prolonged absence. We are back at work in the Art Department. Life Drawing has started again and I leave you a few early sketches of what will be a set of outstanding oil paintings.
