Faces

Pupils responded to the theme of “Faces” They began by working with mirrors looking at basic facial proportions and using tone to represent form. They looked at the use of exaggeration and distortion in images of gargoyles, researched the origins of these images and designed their own, developing them in ceramics and oil pastels. They developed their ideas further by creating faces based on mechanical and found objects. When working individually this pupil has the confidence to make drawings and work from source materials to develop their ideas. With encouragement, they are beginning to adapt and modify work as it progresses. They are beginning to show initiative when exploring and experimenting with materials and developing understanding of why some techniques work better than others for different purposes.

They are able to comment on their progress and share ideas about others work.
