The art display to accompany the Summer Concert was a culmination of work produced this year, across the whole of the Prep School.
From the youngest pupils in Year 3, who worked hard to create their colourful Rainforest plants, Year 4s bugs (some of which you wouldn’t want to encounter) to Year 5s beautiful Japanese fans that fluttered in the evening breeze.
Year 6 channelled their studies in abstraction this term, to create semi-abstract figures. These were developed from an original figure drawing which they gradually enlarged and distorted. Year 7 contributed the hanging microorganism sculptures which turned the big Cedar into a rather surrealist-looking Christmas tree, and Year 8 showed their Pop-Art talents in their contemporary take on a 1950s genre.
This by no means covers the breadth of the work undertaken, or indeed exhibited by the prep school children this year. They work incredibly hard to produce such a range of diverse and exciting work in their weekly art lesson and really deserve our congratulations.
Well done Prep School children!
Mrs McNamara, Head of Art
