ART Celebrating creativity and artistic talent throughout Ursuline Prep by Mr Osborn “We have had a very busy year developing our skills and techniques, from drawing, the cornerstone on which we build all our other ideas, painting and collage to wire sculpture and weaving. We use a wide range of media; oil pastels, charcoal, pen and wash, acrylic paint, collage, chalk pastel, wax crayons, sharpies, and watercolours. We work in 2D and 3D with papier-mâché, clay, wire, plaster bandage, and cardboard. We explore work by artists from different times and places such as Hokusai, Vasily Kandinsky, Bridget Riley, Andy Warhol, and Hundertwasser, and we start to use different tools and materials like collage, papier-mâché and oil pastels. It really helps us to communicate through art effectively. A Year 6 trip to the Tate Modern this year inspired David Hockney drawings and 3D ‘wearable hats’. Art has been important throughout history all over the world. It is important the we reflect that in our studies. Our Art curriculum often works alongside other subject areas like English, History and Maths; for example, our Tudor Rose designs, Viking Shields, and our Bridget Riley OP Art. The girls are brilliantly creative and constantly impress with their ability to express their lovely ideas. It was a delight to present the girls’ work at our inaugural Art Exhibition in July, a first of many to come.”
