Our Year 9 artists have begun an exciting art project this half term with visiting artist, Pollyanna Turner.
The project started when Year 9 students visited The Witham in Barnard Castle to view the current exhibition 'Men's Voices: Stepping Out of the Box'. The exhibition explores masculinity, asking how gender stereotypes have shaped men and boys in the north east.
Following this, our students took part in the first of six workshops, building on the underlying themes from their visit. In their first session, they worked with Polly to create monoprints of people they admire.
Next, the students will start investigating different materials and techniques, culminating in their artwork forming part of a body of work to be exhibited at The Witham later on in the year. Watch this space...
