Pupils have been producing work based on the theme of ‘Shifting shapes’. They have created studies of North American masks in a variety of media, even as a 3D model! Pupils have then gone on to look at the work of Brian Jungen who uses trainers to produce mask designs, creating a title page inspired by his style, developing their ideas for a successful composition. They then went on to develop their observational drawing skills focusing on sections of trainers. Pupils were encouraged to explore different media for each study. As trainers form part of fashion imagery pupils have also produced observational drawings of logo designs. They are currently working on designs for their own mask made from the shapes found in trainers, before moving on to their final piece linking logos and the trainer mask design together. I look forward to seeing more work of this high quality in the weeks to come!
