The Regents Review Winter 2022

DEPARTMENTAL NEWS

Year 7 Graphics Year 7s during their graphics rotation are exploring the world of typography and illuminated letters. Presented with a design brief, the Year 7s are thinking like a graphic designer to produce a brand-new font letter based on their name inspired by all the things they enjoy. Year 8 Art Since the beginning of Year 8, students have studied colour theory. This has led students onto learning about Jasper Johns, creating an information page about him. This is to allow students a taster of what GSCE art is like. We are currently creating a design, inspired by Jasper Johns, recapping on colour theory and developing new skills in a variety of materials such as oil pastels, water colours, coloured pencils and mixed media. We are very proud of their work and how they are developing as young artists.

Music Once again, the Rising Stars of Regents Park took to the stage earlier this month in their ‘All time Bangers’ concert, aptly named because each of the group performances were all popular songs that had been picked from various decades since the 60’s. Throughout the concert, students from Year 8, 9 and 11 took turns to perform various instrumental solos on guitars, piano and drum kit. For the Year 11s, some of these solos were recorded and will be used as their GCSE coursework. The concert also played host to three separate ensembles, the school band, the Year 9 GCSE band, and the Year 11 GCSE band who concluded the evenings proceedings with a four-song mini set which included the songs ‘Lovely Day’, ‘Billie Jean’, ‘Bring Me Sunshine’ and ‘Suspicious Minds’ We would like to thank everyone who took the time to come along and support the concert.
