Star Skills 200: “Dynamic Design”

Trip to The Tate Modern
On Thursday 25th March, a selection of year 8 students from the Dynamic Design group (part of the Star Skills 200 initiative) attended an Art trip to the Tate Modern.
The students each used a handheld computer to navigate themselves around the vast gallery and to find out more about works on display at the Tate Modern. By using the Smart Guide, student’s experience were enhanced as they were able to select video's to look at showing the artist's at work, they could draw on the screen and record their own thoughts about each individual piece.Back in the classroom, the students can download a full digital record of their tour, including all of their drawings, recordings and writing, as well as the images of the pieces they looked at. The students found the experience to be very engaging and interactive.

Star Skills 200: “Dynamic Design”

Year 8 Students from the Dynamic Design group (part of the Star Skills 200 Initiative) have worked on a brief set by Miss Powell (Lead Teacher of Geography) to design a detailed display based on “The River Story”. Students were asked to visually represent the journey of the river to go along side their cluster work in MFL, Maths and Geography. The students used their broad range of Art skills to create a stunning display which will be displayed in the Humanities corridor.

“I found creating this display very enjoyable as I got to be very creative. I expect my fellow students enjoyed it as well. It will be placed in the Humanities Faculty and I am looking forward to seeing it there”
