Year Nine have been learning about the Pop Art movement. They selected their hero or icon and represented them using lino print and simplified drawing to create a striking final piece. Have a look at some of their outcomes below.

After six months of exploring a range of different drawing techniques using pencil, fine liner, ink coffee and painting materials such as water colour and acrylic painting, Year 10 art students then moved into print-making, take a look a the range of outcomes produced below. We hope you enjoy looking at them.

Year 12 photography students were given a new project brief: Architecture.
They researched the work of well-known photographers, Lewis Baltz , Bernd & Hilla Becher, Sven Fennema and Todd Hido
They were then set the challenge to take over 200 photos of architectural structures around Bradford on Avon /Bath in order to create a series of photomontages in the style of Anastasia Savinova.
Their outcomes below will be turned into 3D paper sculptures, so watch this space!

Over the Christmas holidays, Year 12 photography students were challenged with documenting their family through the medium of candid photography. Through these photographs we get to see a highly personal, cosy and natural snapshot of the winter holidays.Â

Our SLS Christmas card competition was open to all students again this year. We have had so many fantastic entries from all year groups. The winning design will go out to parents and carers, members of our local community, and local care homes. Here is a selection of some of the students’ beautiful work. Merry Christmas!

Year 11 recently sat their five hour practical mock exam. I was incredibly impressed with the level of creativity, focus and practical skill that they evidenced in that time, resulting in this excellent range of selected outcomes below. They should all be very proud of themselves.

The Big Draw is the world’s largest drawing festival with thousands of drawing activities connecting people of all ages with museums, outdoor spaces, artists, designers illustrators, and each other.
This year’s theme for the festival is: ‘Make the Change’ and the festival is asking people to explore the relationship between people and our living environments through Art; this could focus on climate change, where you live, recycling or sustainability.
Some of our KS3 students have chosen to make a piece of art in response to this brief, you can see their wonderfully creative submissions below. Well done to all those who took the time to produce a piece of work at home.

In preparation for their Personal Investigation project next year, Year 12 Fine Art students have completed a project based on an area of interest from a selection of past exam paper questions.
They have really enjoyed developing their independent thinking and research skills and exploring in more depth the materials and techniques that were of most interest to them. The final outcomes involved a range of techniques such as oil and acrylic paints, cyanotypes, casting methods, collage and stitch and assemblage. We can’t wait to see what they go on to produce during their Y13 project!
