The Art Club, by Lisa

In the Art rooms, we do a number of different things. One of them is Art club on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, but Tuesday seems to be the most popular day for Art club. Art club on Tuesday is for Ks3 only, but some GSCE students get away with it!… Most of the time we get the choice on what we get to do: whether its sketching, painting or printing, there is always something going on.

The latest projects in Art Club are Tapestry making. I don’t think art club did tapestry making in past, but most of the club members joined with the making, while others still did their own projects. The idea of making the tapestries was suggested by Mr Burnett, who thought it would be a good idea for Ks3 Art Club to do as a project. I would have done one myself, but I was doing a water-coloured version of the Hogwarts crest (which is still not finished), so I didn’t get to do one.

Currently, the main project for some Art Clubbers, including myself is to make the set for this years Panto in a Hurry. We have a group of 10 – 11 students from Ks3 art club, myself and Mr Burnett. This year, it being Frankenstein, we are creating the “electric” parts that create the monster, we only have the templates drawn and cut out, but I’m sure it will look amazing when its done!

What is a Sgraffito? The Year 7’s have been discovering it this week!

This is a techniques where you have two or more layers of a material, then you scratch the first layer to reveal what is underneath.

Set Myint, from 7 Indigo, made a helpful comic page explaining how to create a sgraffito just like the one you see above!
