Through the studio window...Year 10 Safely Contained drawings

This week the Year 10 groups are continuing with their coloured pencil studies, based on the theme 'Safely Contained'. Students have taken their photographic resource for the project, thus enabling them to specify early on, their personal connections to the broader theme.

Through the Tate Modern window....Year 11 visit

The Year 11 GCSE groups visited the Tate Modern on London's South Bank earlier today. All were exceptionally well behaved and completed some fantastic work. Mostly students enjoyed the opportunity to experience artworks in the flesh and record their observations through photography and through drawing studies of the pieces.

Through the Arts Award window...what a celebration!

 

On Tuesday 15th July we celebrated all of our students work, in passing their Bronze Arts Award. With positive and highly comendable comments from the moderator, on our first moderation here at Crystal Palace, students, parents and carers viewed artworks and listened to an array of excellent performances from our students. We had a guest speaker- Sharon Dean, from PRS music talk about how important it is to combine the arts and persue your dreams in these fields. She also invited one of her recently signed (Polydor Records) singer/songwriter Kimberlt Ann. She performed several of her songs and allowed for audience participation for the final song. Students were then awarded their Harris certificates of recognition for completing the award.
