'I learn't that stories and history can be told
in different forms oƒ visual art.'
'Now I see drawing as more than putting a pencil to
paper. It is an expression of creativity and a map of different marks.'
Year 10
Year 10 and 12 had the exciting opportunity to work with artist Sian Gledhill and the Royal Academy of Art ReachOut team. During the first part of the workshop, students were required to work within a set of rules either given by the artist or set by themselves. This stretched and challenged their perspectives of drawing and the creative process through the encouragement to use alternative drawing tools such as chairs, balloons and their feet and being restricted to only one or two repetitive movements. The second part of the workshop required students to interpret a word as a group and then create films that encompassed that word.
The students films will be part of an Exhibition at the RCA that will open this week.
