In out first few lessons with Year 7, we have focused on drawing skills as they have used line and shade to depict arange of natural forms.

Challonerart would like to welcome everybody back to the Art Department for the new term. We are looking forward to having creative and inventive lessons with each group from Year 5 to Year 13.

Because Challonerart is taking work for a competition at a school in Tunbridge Wells, there will be no Art Club this Thursday. If you usually attend, you are very welcome to come to the session on Tuesday 11th.... See you there.

Sorry to say but there will be no Clubs in the Art Dept over enrichment week..... We'll start again on Tuesday 11th June and Thursday 13th... See you all there.

Weclome to Enrichment Week. Looking forward to hosting our activities in the Art Studio; We'll be making fossils in Year 8 on Tuesday and on Friday will be challenging the Year 9 students to make a clay face....

We have such an exciting term coming up!

In the first week back, our terrific GCSE students are sitting their 10 hour timed test. By Friday we will have a set of brand new art works to view. Good luck to them.

Our Year 5 group will be continuing their buildings project and the Year 6 pupils will be starting a set of work about animals.

Year 7 students will be starting work on 3D Masks and Year 8 will be making models of insects out of wire and our Year 9 students will be making maquettes out of card, packaging materials and wire.

Our year 10 and Year 12 students will continue with their fabulous coursework projects.

Later in the term Key Stage 3 students will be having their Art tests and just after half term we be running some art projects during Enrichment week.

A new term ushers in new ideas and fresh projects. Year 7 will be starting work on an abstract art project as Year 8 begin new work on the design of book covers. Year 9 are going to be concentrating on their Pop Art portraits before embarking on a sculptural project looking at public art.

Our Year 10 GCSE students will be looking to continue their work on portraits and the Y12 A level students are enganged in work on the human form.

Our Year 11 GCSE students are looking to continue their strong start on their GCSE Externally Set Assignment. Best of luck to them.

We are going to make a submission for the Fourth Plinth Schools Award this year. If you want to design a sculpture, come to collect a proforma from the Art Room. Final designs have to be in by Friday 8th March. Good luck

Good luck to the 7 Year 8 students who have applied for a 13+ Art Scholarship. The interviews will take place this Wednesday and next Wednesday.
