Art
I have included examples of the fabulous artwork our Key Stage 3 Pupils are
producing in their sketchbooks. Year 7 are analysing sgraffito, tonality, texture,
watercolour, and pattern. They are also painting their amazing ceramic pinch
pots. Year 8 pupils are painting their coil pots in clay, studying the artwork of
the Minoan dynasty, graphic design, and Michaelangelo. Year 9 are looking at
surrealism, storyboarding and designing robots based on John Brickels. Year 10
Fine Art pupils are successfully working in paint with beautiful results, and Art
Craft and Design pupils are building their Gaudi ceramic towers. I look forward to
sharing the fantastic Year 11 work in the Autumn term. Finally, well done to three
of our pupils whose work was exhibited in the Hastings Contemporary Gallery.
Please do have a look at our pupil’s wonderful artwork on the St Richard’s Art
Department website - www.strichardsart.com. Thank you and keep creating!
