Patterns

Inspired by the work of Gustav Klimt, Dena Al Hamden in Form VI Q set began preparing a design today which will be suitable for glass painting. The strong sense of colour and pattern in Klimt's work proved to be an excellent staring point for Dena who used her natural flair for creating organic rhythms and patterns to begin work on the design process. Luckily enough we have plenty of primary source material relating to stained glass here at the College which can also be used as observation material to help inform her decisions about colour and shape.

Form V Q Set

Earlier this term the Form V Q set began working with clay. They tried out hand building techniques as well as trying out the pottery wheels. Posted today is work by Julia Xie.

Form V Q-Set, Batik Work.

Form V Q-Set Art pupils are experimenting with a different type of Batik. The traditional technique which requires the use of wax and dye with fabric has been replaced with plain old paint and a mixture of flour and water which mimics the resistance of the wax.

Posted below are a couple of test strips. The test strips allow the pupils to figure out the limits of these less traditional materials, for example, the correct consistency of paint, the ratio of water to flour, the thickness of the lines, the viscosity of the flour and water mixture etc. The results are quite effective.

The pupils have now begun more developed compositions which are showing great potential.

Preparation for the annual Exhibition & Art Prize

Amongst other projects this year the Form VI Q set began, and are now in the final stages of a groupwork clay modelling project. Using the College Chapel as a starting point for the project they chose to depict the words 'I will fear no evil' in a number of clay tiles. They hope to have the pieces glaze fired for the annual art exhibition and prizes evening which will be held in the BSR on the evening of Saturday April 2nd.

Leaving Certificate Craftwork

Posted today is an excellent example of Leaving Certificate clay modelling. Imogen Wardell's work is a clay model representation of a Hermit Crab. After bisque firing the clay model Imogen choose to paint it with acrylics rather than glaze the piece.
