π¨ Creative Art in Progress! π¨ Our Year 10 students have been focusing on bold colors, expressive brushwork, and creative interpretation! Using digital reference images on their laptops, they are sketching and painting intricate designs, ranging from vibrant fish and colorful abstract landscapes to detailed dinosaur sketches. Itβs amazing to see their ideas transition from screen to paper as they develop their observational drawing and painting skills. Check out some of their incredible work in progress! ποΈβ¨#ArtClass#Fauvism#StudentArt#CreativeLearning#DrawingAndPainting#ExpressiveArt 1 Likes
Photos from Shevington High School Wigan's postποΈ Future Architects in the Making! π Our Year 9 Technology students have been busy leveling up their 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) skills using Tinkercad! For their current architecture project, students were challenged to step into the shoes of iconic visionaries designing original 3D house models inspired by the styles of Frank Lloyd Wright, Zaha Hadid, or Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. From sweeping organic curves to bold geometric minimalism, we are so impressed by the creativity and technical detail on display. Swipe through to check out some of their incredible CAD creations! πβ¨ #DesignTechnology#Tinkercad#STEM#FutureArchitects#CAD#SchoolArt#ArchitectureInSchools 3 Likes
