Kirsty Blower has completed a new painting. It is a copy of a Matisse produced using watercolour paints. She has used a pointallist technique in some of the work and her use of very bright colours has been well controlled.
Mrs Gillies has been teaching portraits with this group and I think they have been doing really well. Here they are 🙂

These pieces of work were produced by Kirsty Blower in Year 8. The style of painting shows a great deal of maturity because they use unnatural colours and a difficult technique. I have included a picture by a famous “Fauvist” artist called Henri Matisse in the galley so that you can see how similar her work is to it. To have created such paintings without this knowledge is quite impressive. If you want to know, there is also an element of “Surrealism” in the work where you think something is one thing and then can see something else in it.
Well done 🙂
We had a group of learners all day to do this project. We wanted them to make an “Agitprop” poster that set out their own manifesto for community cohesion. Learners had to decide what community means in Skelmersdale, and who are part of this community. They then had to write a set of rules that they felt would allow everyone to live in harmony together. These were written on the poster behind the bold and striking images in the foreground.
This class were asked to make a quick review of the time they have spent in the Art department. I must admit to asking them to be careful with what they said, but it is their own words. I only had time to record four of the learners but will try to do more over the next week.
Well done those that took part. Click on the link to hear their voice recording.
