Pupils will explore how artists use colour to capture the look
and feel of the world around them. They are encouraged to look
closely at the buildings and colours of the environment and use
colour theory to examine artworks and help inform their own
compositions. Inspired by image and individuality pupils explore
sculpture, textiles and interactive art to help them understand
the different ways artists represent and construct identity.
They create and follow a line through the gallery as they layer
ideas, transform materials and create an experimental
sketchbook. In our studios they use themselves as the starting
point to turn expressive drawings into three-dimensional wire
sculptures. Using curious objects and historical and imaginative
paintings as settings, pupils bring the collection alive using
drama techniques that extend into movement and the development
of sounds. Their ideas and resulting performances are documented
on DVD so that these can be developed back in school into a
range of creative writing
