Arts Award Silver - Mentoring - Painting Techniques






Destiny continues to mentor her fellow students as part of her Arts Award Silver.  She and her colleagues have already arranged and held their own exhibition and they continue to pursue their artistic interests independently.  Destiny is intent on becoming a photographer and attends a photography course after school on Fridays.  She will be working towards an exhibition of her photographs in the near future.

Destiny has been conducting a number of mentoring session in painting techniques towards her Arts Award Silver.  These include the painting with string and  cling-film techniques:




Water colour paint is applied by dripping or splattering onto wetted paper.

Clingfilm is crumpled and and pressed onto the paint.


After waiting for the paint to dry, the clingfilm is removed carefully to reveal wonderful patterns.
Dipping the string in pots of diluted poster paint and placing the strings inside a folded card or piece of paper.

After placing a heavy book on top of the folded card and pulling the string, identical images appear on each side of the card.
















A selection of Art Work which is being made at the after School Art Club, 
alongside the Arts Award Bronze and Silver.

Collage and Drawing and Painting skills are very much in evidence here.











Some of the work is based on well-known artists' work, such as Georgie O'Keefe.
