Artworks
I was really impressed with how enthusiastic the pupils were on my arrival to the school and how they had used various influences from day one within their work.
There was a broad variety of medium energising around the classroom. Performances were being choreographed, experiments with water model making, painting were all part of the days events.
Miss Cabble the teacher was delighted with their alternative way of thinking which added a different dimension to their art portfolios she quotes, “It went very well and pupils experimented with new media, performance and video, which they hadn’t done before. The last time pupils were given the opportunity to work with David Marchant, it completely changed their way of thinking and working, and were more interested in the concepts behind artworks, which they researched for GCSE coursework. As a result, some pupils performed better in their GCSE Art, because they had developed the ability to think of more mature concepts for their work, and more contemporary ways of realising their ideas”.
