Showing their creative side

Girls in the Prep Department took part in an extremely creative day of art themed activities this week.  Each class had the opportunity to participate in a variety of workshops where they used a range of artistic techniques including oil painting, ceramics and collage to create some incredible pieces of art.

The theme of the activities was “nature” and included the following: 

• Year 3 created owls using corrugated card, leaves made from lead pencils, oil pastels and a collage leaf which were used to create a large scale tree made from paper.
• Year 4 used a mixture of media including wire, tissue paper and wool to produce butterflies. They also used collage techniques to make raindrops.
• Year 5 spent the day in the Sculpture Studio creating large chickens out of clay.
• Year 6 took part in a group painting activity were each girl had a section of a famous painting to recreate using oil paints.  The paintings are now going to be joined together and displayed.  They used work by artists such as David Hockney and Cezanne for their inspiration. 

Head of Prep, Mrs Etchegoyen, said “Prep Art Day was a fantastic success and all the girls thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  It was wonderful to see them enjoying the opportunity to be creative and learn some different techniques. They have produced some amazing pieces of work which we look forward to displaying at this Term’s forthcoming Art Exhibition.”
