Historical Heroes!

During July 2009, I was approached by the Head of History, Mr Merrony, who wanted help to create an exciting and educational mural for the history department. We worked together along with Miss Underhill to arrange a fun photo shoot of year 7 students, who dressed up as their favourite historical heroes, including Florence Nightingale and famous explorers with their penguins in arms. Over the summer holidays, I then edited the images to create a range of fun, realistic photographs of the year 7 heroes in their own historical environments, including Rosa Parks on her bus and Albert Einstein in his science lab. Mr Attwood helped to hang the photographs to create a permanent mural in the history department. I thoroughly enjoyed working with the all the staff and students involved and am very proud of the work I’ve been able to create.
