Futuristic Art Week

The stimulus for our Spring Term Art Week was British Science Week’s theme of ‘Innovating for the Future’. During the week, pupils learnt about an artist, practised new skills and worked toward a final project.

We have created a virtual walk down the ‘Gallery Corridor’ and added a few extra photos from some of the displays around the school …

Each Year Group researched the work of a famous artist for their inspiration …
