Year 9 Cubist Work

The year 9 students completed their final cubist art works this week – with fantastic results.  Students studied Cubism in depth over a 2 month period, looking at the work of an artist, making research drawings and experimented with different materials.  It’s great to see such diversity in the final work – well done year 9s!
Shady's hot & cold musical instruments...

Chanel's piece has lots of different materials collaged-including some metal rings from her dad's work...

Clara's sculpture was a very ambitious piece, and absolutely fantastic in my opinion!...

This is Sondos's who is in Mrs Walsh's class...

Zahrah's shoes....

Harrison's cool sculpture...

Iman's piece...can you see the hidden faces?  She made hers using oil paints - and it still smells lovely!

Duncan's...

Faris's piece.  He really got into the Cubist spirit with this project and spent a lot of time at home coming up with all sorts of ideas - including sculpture and installation ideas.... 

Aseel's beautiful piece, which she spent hours on.... 

here is a detail from Aseel's.  She collaged magazine pages onto the surface, along with other materials.  She has such a lot of patience! 

 Kailey's final work...I love the monocrhome with a splash of bling...

Abrar's piece is busy and colourful... 



Mora Brothers & WOMAD Abu Dhabi

Last year my friend Emma invited me to the primary school that she works at, to see some art work that The Mora Brothers had been doing with students.  Emma had organised with WOMAD to host a week long art workshop with the students at Al Muna Primary school in Abu Dhabi.  The 2 brothers are from Cuba and are famous for their fabulous papier-maché sculptures. 

They had decided to make a huge scorpian for the WOMAD opening parade, and whilst the brothers made their own big scorpian in the school grounds, they also ran workshops to teach the students how to make mini scorpians! During the weekend festival the brothers were also giving mask making workshops for children.  I was very sad that I was a little too old to join in.

I love their work and I love papier-maché!

Here are some photos of the scorpians being made....
