The final countdown

My art room has been very quiet these last few days – the Grade 12 students have been frantically working to finish their exam pieces. My lessons are generally quite loud – I often tell the kids that I feel like I am running a pub – music playing & a convivial atmosphere – I just don’t serve snacks & drinks! I will post more images of girls' work once everything is up on the walls. I thought I would take some before and after pics – so that you can see how the studios transform.

Below Nicky putting the final "touches" on to her exam piece: 

Santhuri has attempted quite an interesting technique – she is making drawings by piercing holes with different size needles to create shading in the drawing. A section and close up of her work is below:

Our exhibition is on the 11th of October & the studios will be open to the public from the 12th to Friday the 28th of October. The studios will close briefly (from about 9am – 11am) on Tuesday 12^th October for moderation and will close again on the 17^th of October when the examiner arrives to mark the exam pieces.

Please feel free to visit anytime during the school day - the studios will be open until 3.45pm.
