Art this Academic Year
Lucy Parkinson
Throughout the year, QEGS has created lots of artwork across the school, developing skill and technique of each year group. Being at the end of my sixth year at QEGS, I decided I would discuss the development of art through each year's and achievements our school had made.

It is trips like these that remind us all that there is more to art than just realism and portraiture. So I encourage you to create art that is individual to you. My favourite aspect of art is the expressionism and I can't wait to see that expressionism in your art too.
Year 8's study of portraiture introduces students to proportion, continuing these ideas into Year 9 through consistent small artist studies. Artist studies is a good introduction into GCSEs through to A-Level.
Year 9
Artist Studies
Events throughout this year includes Year 8 and 9's visits to Yorkshire Skulpture Park, discussing and admiring artists such as Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth. Other events include Year 12 and 7's street art-style workshop with urban aerosol artist James Mayle.
