On June 20th our Year 10 Art students were invited to a clay workshop afterschool. Their task for the session was to make a clay eye which will be painted using acrylics to create a realistic eye with a reflective surface in the eye ball. This can then be added to their Reflections coursework, which they are completing at the present time.
Well done to all those who attended, your work looks great so far!
