Amazing work from week 1 - congratulations to my students!

Wow, week one has really started with a flurry of creativity in both the Art and Textile studios.  Students have been focused & 'on' their projects with a sense of purpose.  Congratulations to those students who have already started to commit to extra time in the studios.

 

Remember what I asked you all on day 1 - 'Are you up for the challenge & are you up for the journey' ? If you want the grades, you have to work for them & some of you have started with a really determined attitude, demonstrating PRIDE in what you have produced.

 

The A' Level Textile students have really started to explore their new theme of 'Architectural Detail' & after a morning with us waxing a range of different papers (everything from newspaper to brown parcel papers to old Vogue magazines etc).  The studio smelt like a candle factory, but soon the students were folding & stitching & creating some very exciting samples inspired by origami techniques (could this be where Maths meets Textiles?  Watch out Mr.B).  These samples were then put into context by pinning them onto the mannequins to resemble fashion accessories/shoulder & neck details that one might find in a couture collection.

 

 

 

Watch this space for how these ideas develop later on this week.  Additional to these studies these students have been pushing & working very hard on their sketchbook pages, one student exclaimed 'this is the best page I've ever created - I love it' - keep viewing & you may get to see more of their sketchbook pages later this week.

 

Additional to this, the A2 Art & Design students have also been very busy developing their sketchbooks (see below).  I was blown away by some of their pages, really individual responses to a common theme - demonstrating a high level of creative & independent thinking (this is vital as this unit is called 'Personal Investigation').

 

 

 

Let's hope week 2 is as positive & creative as this week has been - watch this space!
