abingdon.org.uk/prep 11 ART & DESIGN This year’s Art and Design Exhibition was a hive of creativity, with over 170 visitors to the show and every pupil exhibiting at least one piece of art or design displayed around the school. This year we also showcased the work of Abingdon school students, to demonstrate the progression of their creative skills from Pre-Prep, to APS and beyond. Our Art and Design Scholarship candidates, Kian and Sam proudly showed their portfolios in the hall, alongside the three Arts Award students, all of whom passed their Bronze level with flying colours awarded by Trinity College London. From portraits, to clay cakes, wooden sailboats to sculptures there was a cornucopia of creativity on display. Such amazing achievements by our pupils. ART AND DESIGN EXHIBITION ANIMAL EYES WORKSHOP In our Saturday workshop in April, four wonderfully creative Year 6 artists spent the day exploring texture through adding a variety of additives to acrylic paint. Sand, grout, Mod Roc and gravels were experimented with and selected to add just the right texture to their chosen animal eye. This resulted in some fantastic and fun enlargements on canvas YEAR 6 ART Typography inspired by street artist Ben Eine and onomatopeoia lino cuts.
