WOW! Take a look at these Year 9 Drawings

WOW!!!!!

Take a look at these photographs made by our Year 9 students.

Photographs? Or are they drawings? Or are they drawings on photographs? How do you think they were made? You are used to drawing with a 4B pencil or a pen. These images have been 'drawn' using a torch pointed towards a camera in the PAS. See if you can understand the ideas behind these pieces. Do you recognise what our students are trying to convey? They came up with some fantastic ideas.











First try!

Thats better!!!!




These more 'abstract' images were large gestural pieces that helped the students 'warm up'. In each case the photo records only thirty seconds of intense activity!





From all the staff - thanks you lot - it was a very enjoyable session - you were a great bunch of kids - see you next week - remember the brief - an idea from a film of your choice and an image of your own choice, so speak to the others in your team. Thanks again.

Thanks Miss Shipley for organising everything. To Miss Russell - whose idea it was in the first place and to Mr. Robinson who likes curry.
