THE TRUST ART GALLERY
Please enjoy this selection of our Year 9's artwork.
BALCARRAS SCHOOL
Year 9 students at Balcarras were challenged to develop original artwork inspired by the concept of 'Icon'.
Pupils were asked to consider and analyse the characteristics of other artists’ work to inform the planning and making of their own. Emphasis was placed on originality of outcome and independent creative thought. Students have gained an insight into the creative and exciting nature of the GCSE course, which allows them to have independent input into the direction of their work. We are very proud of the diverse and high standard of work produced.
WINCHCOMBE SCHOOL
At Winchcombe School our Year 9 students have been exploring the vibrant and expressive world of Fauvism. Pupils were encouraged to study the key characteristics of Fauvist artist’s work. From this we encouraged them to experiment boldly with colour and be expressive in their mark-making.
THE HIGH SCHOOL LECKHAMPTON
During this baseline project, our students developed their drawing skills by focusing on shading and details in facial features to create a realistic self-portrait. They explored how artists use portraits to tell stories about their identity and personal lives, not just to show what they look like. We covered the basics of line, shape, form, and value.
