Just to let everyone know at Kingsley that Matt Howe's portrait of his Grandmother painted last year in his final A level year made it through to the short list at the BP Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery in London. This is possibly the most prestigious portrait painting prize in the world. Unfortunately he didn't make the final hanging but his painting was selected to the final committee just missing out on the 51 selected from 2100 paintings. Well done Matt!!

Year 11 and 6th form art students went to the Tate, The Barbara Hepworth Museum and some of the commercial galleries, in the most arty town in the South West possibly the UK, St. Ives. All students were introduced to the work of Dexter Dalwood, an artist who uses small constructed collages taken from magazines to make large paintings, which reference pop and post modern culture often from an imagined room belonging to someone very famous which we all knew. This was a very exciting exhibition which had all the right connections to inspire artwork from our students and help them to analyze the culture and time they live in. Trips to the Barbara Hepworth studio and gardens were also very rewarding and a wander around town without the hoards of tourists who will soon be there. A great day!

Some research for Year 9 to consider as preparation for the project you are going to do in the Art Department this term. Please have a look at the Cape Farewell Project http://www.capefarewell.com/art.html Once you have looked at the art and exhibition pages study the home page and find out what the project is all about it is going to be the inspiration for the work you do this term.

Year 11 will also be working on a still-life drawing project and if unable to come to school because of weather, can research the artists below and similar.

Reversal

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas - Richard Hamilton

The negative image. Hamilton did a number of this picture in both painting and printmaking. He did a series of prints of I'm dreaming of a white Christmas and also a "black Christmas". Remembered as the first Pop Art artist from the UK. You can see in the screenprint below a more painterly/drawn quality to the image than the previous one which was the larger painting.
