Art News

Happy New Year! I warmly welcome back familiar faces to the art studio and very much look forward to getting to know each of the new young artists.

Our initial creative focus will be upon the celebration of the Chinese New Year. Each artist will create an individual image to highlight the Year of the Rooster. We shall be observing the history and traditions of the rooster whilst aiming to capture character within our final artistic depictions. The boys will explore a range of differentiated materials and techniques, taking risks and learning to develop new ways to extend and present their ideas.

I am looking forward to sharing with you the various approaches to the theme and eagerly anticipate a diverse, exciting display alongside an abundance of vivid colour. Watch this space!
