KS3 Art<br />

Words by Mrs Jimenez, Head of Art<br />

Year 7 have been learning about the ‘Basic<br />

Elements’ of art. Gargoyles and Grotesque<br />

masks were made from Modroc and were<br />

designed on the pupils pulling faces. They<br />

also created movement drawings from<br />

observing their peers on a table. Pupils have<br />

understood Surrealism through their projects<br />

made at home and through their surreal<br />

photo montages and illustrations.<br />
