Wall of Progress

I have started developing a wall of progress for each of my year group. Students choose the work they wish to exhibit in order to demonstrate progress made since the start of the year. This year 9 wall shows students' development of compositional skills through use of layers, various lines, symmetry, contrast, shading, blending and use of patterns.

Roy Lichtenstein

A year 9 printing project based on the later geometric work of Roy Lichtenstein. These collagraphs are simply produced by removing layers of card in order to create various surfaces.

Portraiture

I have recently started working on a portraiture unit with year 9 students. Initial lessons allowed students to develop shading and detailed lines in two distinct stages, allowing them to develop their understanding of layering as a means to adding depth to an image.
