We were incredibly lucky to have the very talented artist Joel Penkman in school on Friday (13 March) 🎨✨ working with the Year 10 Art students πŸ‘©β€πŸŽ¨πŸ‘¨β€πŸŽ¨. They took part in a workshop developing their painting skills πŸ–ŒοΈ, learning how to develop layering techniques using water colours 🌈. She was fantastic πŸ‘ and so were the students 🌟. This one to one experience was invaluable to the students currently completing their Art GCSE πŸŽ“. Thank you Joel πŸ™Œ and well done Year 10! πŸŽ‰
