FACE BRITAIN<br />
Many of you will be aware of the Face Britain project the Art<br />
Department have led with our feeder primary schools this year.<br />
Workshops at <strong>Millthorpe</strong> <strong>School</strong> led Year 5 pupils from<br />
Archbishop of <strong>York</strong> CE Junior <strong>School</strong>, Scarcroft Primary,<br />
Knavesmire Primary and Copmanthorpe Primary schools to<br />
create Cubist and expressive self-portraits.<br />
A selection of Year 5 work was actually seen at Bar Lane Studios<br />
by HM The Queen during her visit to <strong>York</strong> in April!<br />
Two weeks later, all the self-portraits contributed to an<br />
enormous projection of HM The Queen on the façade of<br />
Buckingham Palace, the worlds’ largest portrait! This made all<br />
the Year 5 students official Guinness Book of World Record<br />
holders!<br />
To celebrate further, an exhibition of the original self-portraits<br />
was held at Bar Lane Studios, Micklegate in June. Everyone<br />
involved enjoyed admiring the self-portraits with drinks &<br />
nibbles at the exhibition open evening! Thank you to Bar Lane<br />
Studios for supporting <strong>Millthorpe</strong> yet again.<br />
A big thank you to all the staff and students who helped to make<br />
the Face Britain project so rewarding.
