Year 8 African Art Designs

Welcome to the Chellaston Foundation School Art Department Blog... and this, the first post! To kick things off - here's a selection from the recently completed Year 8 African Art Design - which the pupils spent several hours completing. If you're wondering where the time went... check out the amazing amount of complex detail that has been worked into these pages!

Thanks to pupils from 8U1, 8U2 and 8L2 who worked so hard on this brief. Here are a few of the best!

Courtney Foote


Charlie Campbell


Devon Iliffe


Ellen Norris


Emily Cook


George Clarke


Holly Rayworth


Katie Hancock


Zaf Theodoru

These designs have since become the springboard for work in ceramics. Expect a gallery of the resulting work sometime soon.
