GCSE Art Taster Sessions on Enrichment Day at BCGS

Posted on: 07/02/2025

Some Year 8 students at BCGS had a GCSE taster lesson in Art today, as part of the Personal Development (Enrichment) Day schedule.

The students looked at wire portraits by artist Alexander Calder and created their own continuous line drawings of portraits, working without looking at the paper.

They then created wire portraits using a similar technique, which have a real sense of energy, fluidity and character.
