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!
