Last week our Year 10 Art students enjoyed an inspiring educational visit to Kew Gardens, Richmond, gathering first-hand research and source material to support their coursework.
Throughout the day, students explored a wide variety of natural forms, developing their observational drawing and recording skills while immersing themselves in one of the world’s most spectacular botanical collections.
The photographs, sketches and research gathered during the visit will now be used to develop paintings, drawings and designs for printmaking, helping students progress their GCSE Art projects.
Well done to our students, who were absolutely brilliant throughout the visit and represented us fantastically. Their enthusiasm, maturity and creativity were a real credit to themselves and the school, and we are incredibly proud of how they embraced every opportunity to learn from this unique experience.
A huge thank you goes to Ms Williams, Mrs McArdle, Mrs Maull and Miss Child for accompanying the students on this fantastic trip.
Watch this space very soon for some amazing artwork from our talented students, inspired by their visit and created as part of this exciting project!
