Using media from watercolours to markers we created a set of fabulous, wearable capes. Very stylish Year 4! COLOURFUL CAPES The wonderful historian Lizzie Rowe visited to give an Art History lecture to Year 8 on ‘Disasters, when are they art?’ Pupils created their own reconstructive pieces allowing torn paper to fall on to a white space, discussing the amount of input required, or not, of an artist when creating art. Exploring artists such as Lucio Fontana, Ai Weiwei, Banksy and Cai Guo-Qiang. They certainly had lots of opinions on which pieces they liked, and those they did not. An analytical and creative experience had by all. ART HISTORY LECTURE PIGMENT PAINTING The APS whole school charity this year is Down’s Syndrome Oxford.
