AS Fine Art & Textiles Exhibition


AS FINE ART
The AS fine art students have just completed the coursework Unit 1 which was based around the theme of ‘Architecture’. The project has developed through research of both historical and contemporary artists and has allowed the students to explore and develop their ideas by using a range of processes and materials.
The students have used a range of painting styles, collage, drawing techniques and printmaking processes such as mono-printing, etching and drip painting to create the work within the exhibition. The exhibition shows a selection of work from across the year group to give an indication of the processes used.
This exhibition showcases a range of final pieces which represent a culmination of ideas and techniques. Students work with teachers’ guidance and support to utilise their own strengths, skills and interests.









AS TEXTILES
For Unit 1 the AS Textiles students have produced a portfolio of work relating to the theme of ‘Seasons’.  Each student chose one of the four seasons and explored tracing, drawing and Photoshop responses which they then developed into textiles.  
Following their experiments into surface pattern using dye, batik, print and stitch, students also explored constructed textiles in the form of weave and felt and 3D techniques of wrapped wires, pom-poms and felt balls.  They then chose and developed the most successful ideas and choice of media towards an ambitious final outcome.
The images exhibited are final outcomes in the form of headwear which have created using a variety of textile techniques inspired by the students chosen season and the milliners Stephen Jones and Philip Treacy.
