YEAR 10 ART TRIP TO KEW GARDENS

As part of our theme ‘ Natural forms ’, 44 of our students visited Kew Gardens in late September, to carry out a research investigation using their cameras. Photographic techniques taught in class were further explored in the

Gardens and students collected visual evidence for plant structures, patterns and texture. This body of work is currently underpinning the work generated in class,

both 2D and 3D. During our visit at Kew, students had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the Art Installations by ‘ Pip & Pop ’, which are also being used to inspire the creation of ceramic sculptures. We share below examples of our students ’ work based on their investigations at Kew, work that is being developed currently in the classroom.
