The Regents Review Summer 2022

DEPARTMENTAL NEWS Creative Arts & DT Staff Art CPD

The art department received a fantastic CPD session after school this term, based on screen printing. Kate from Southampton City Art Gallery came and delivered the session for us. We all had such a fabulous time, exploring different printing techniques using the screens. We are all looking forward to develop this into our KS4 curriculum. Photography In Photography we have had a full on year, entering lots of competitions as they opened up again. Well done to Olly and Mrs Selfe who were commended for their ‘new beginnings’ photographs. In Year 9, we have been exploring portraiture and advertising. Year 10 have been working on decay and industry, whilst Year 11 have been working on their own selected projects. Please see work examples from the year below:

Year 9 Art Workshop Year 9 art students took part in an expressive urban art workshop. We had Jeanette come all the way from London to deliver the sessions to our students. Students were able to be really expressive using charcoal as a medium to explore urban landscapes. Jeanette showed the students her work and helped them to develop an imaginative landscape, considering depth, tone and detail. The students created a range of art pieces, which they will be able to carry forward towards their art GCSE.
