Mono-prints!

Heather Pugh was working with the S4 girls today. She showed them a slideshow of her work and spoke to them about college life and art practise in general. Then she went on to do some mono-printing with them... Rebecca and megan used simple shapes and images taken from their ongoing art projects and Deborah and Robyn just had some fun!

iMovie!

S3 dramatists watched the video of the play they performed for their drama practical exam in March. The video was taken at their last dress rehearsal and so needs quite a lot of editing! They were using iMovie for the first time to edit it together.

Happy Families!

S3 artists had great fun today playing an artistic version of the classic card game "Happy Families". We had to collect 'families' of paintings by different Impressionist artists. Ailie was the winner!

Degas

S4 artists finished watching a very interesting DVD about the life and work of Degas today in preparation for their upcoming NAB. They then worked as a group to brainstorm all they knew about Degas and how he links in with both his society and the work his contemporaries, the Impressionists.


The Judge's Podium...



S4 dramatists were undertaking some set construction today. They used wooden pallets, painted boards, nails, hammers, saws, willow wood and duck tape to construct a raised podium on which the judge will sit in the extract of "Witness for the Prosecution" they will perform next week.




The seagull egg has hatched!

The seagull that has nested on the chimney outside Miss Rukins room has been circling her nest this afternoon- guarding the new chick that has hatched!

We can see one speckled chick but suspect another egg is yet to hatch which the mother keeps sitting on...

The spectacle has provided welcome distractions for S3 Modern Studies!
