Creative Arts 17

Remembering through Art Students from Creative Arts have been working hard
to produce two separate works of art which have
been created for Remembrance Day
commemorations at the College. Students from
Years 7- 9 textiles Club have painstakingly made
fabric poppies for the internal installation in the
central corridor, composed with soldier imagery and
poignant quotes.
the second installation, sited at the front of the
College, is composed of handmade ceramic
poppies and a life size World War One soldier
silhouette, made by students in Year 8 and the Year 7
Craft Club. this was inspired by the tower of london
installation entitled Blood Swept lands and Seas of
Red which marked one hundred years since the first
full day of Britain's involvement in the First World War.
Congratulations to all students who participated in
these important memorials and thanks to staff in the
Creative Arts Department who led the projects.

Artistic Challenges at Plymouth Aquarium

The Plymouth Aquarium Art trip was designed to celebrate and reward our Year
8 Art students for their hard work, and to further challenge the students with an
exciting drawing and printmaking workshop.
Students are now taking part in weekly lunchtime workshops exploring art
textiles, mixed media, sculpture or painting in which they continue to create
some fantastic work. Well done Year 8!

GCSE Art, Textiles and Photography students from Year 9 visited
RHS Rosemoor in September to inspire a coursework module based
on natural forms and the environment.

the wealth of visual stimulus did not disappoint and students were
able to make fantastic observations in their sketchbooks and
through their photographs.

Students recorded what they saw in a range of materials and will
be taking inspiration from this trip to develop further work.
