Year 10 Exam Work

On Sunday my year 10 students had a full day exam.  Their task was to produce a piece of work based on the theme 'Broken'.  They had 2 weeks to come up with some ideas and trial materials.  Here are their finished work...

Lucy's lino

Rebecca's paper collage, inspired by Matisse

Jessica's painting 

Owen's Hundertwasser inspired piece 

Gemma's 2 masks 

Numan's melting face, inspired by Dali's melting clocks

Joe's Picasso inspired face 

Sophie's coffee stained collage & painting (it smells really strongly of coffee) 

Clare's painting

Hollie's painting 

Adam's dinosaur head -the dots are inspired from Roy Lichtenstein's pop art paintings.  After firing Adam is going to paint this bright purple, a suspicious similarity to Barney the dinosaur I think!

Andrew's painting

Flower Lino Prints

I'm a big fan of lino printmaking - it must be my favourite thing to do - with my own work and teaching students.  I love the simplicity of the technique and experimenting with colour and print surfaces.

Here are some photos of flower lino prints that I have done with my year 7s at Al Yasmina during the last couple of years...aren't they lovely!

Bird Lino Prints

Here are some more lino bird prints from my student placement...

I made these into a small booklet which I photocopied and gave to each of the students.  It was a mini illustration project so it was nice to give the students a little present after all their hard work!
