We are now over half way through the first term at St Julian´s and work has developed quickly. Here are a selection of pieces across the Middle Years (years 6-9).


Year 9's have developed their observational drawing skills and engaged with African Art. They have learnt about the different cultures of some African tribes, plus how or why they made particular pieces of Art. The theme will continue but already they have created strong and varied chalk drawings from a variety of African artifacts. I can see that their skills and style of work is becoming much more independent and sophisticated. I hope that they recognise this too. Here are some of their amazing examples:

Year 8 pupils have also worked on their drawing skills through creating a refined traditional Still Life. Pupils are showing development of skills, whilst engaging with Art history and reviewing their own work and progress. A big congratulations to all pupils on their accomplished outcomes.

 

     

Year 7 pupils have developed their understanding of perspective elements and tone by creating bright and cheerful still life compositions. They have recognised their own skills and are all very pleased with and enthusiastic about their outcomes. It has been nice to see them all excited to find their own work when it has been put up on display.   

Lastly,  but importantly Year 6 pupils have been introduced to the Art Department and making cross curricular links with History. They are working on a project where they are investigating the Ancient Greeks. In Art they have looked at the different varieties and shapes of ancient Greek pots and the patterns and stories that are told through the Art work. They have created large contrasting pattern work and are continuing this project by making their own clay pot.
