| Last term students from Art Club entered a recycling competition
where they had to create a sculpture made out of plastic drinking
bottles.
Two groups won, and were invited to attend a workshop at
The Yorkshire Sculpture Park in Wakefield for the day.
So 'well done' to Lauren Cooper, Megan Atack, Lily Preston,
Olivia Warwick, Kim Walker and Holly Barker.
If you would like to attend Art Club, it runs on a Tuesday
lunchtime for Years 7, 8 and 9, and after school on Mondays,
Thursdays and Thursday lunchtimes for Years 10, 11, 12 and
13.
In Year 12, Laura Stephenson has been awarded a place on
the prestigious Linfoot Harewood House summer school 2007.
She will work with five artists and fifteen other sixth
form students to put on an exhibition, talk to curators
and run a business.

| Leeds City Art Gallery is currently closed to the public
to be refurbished. The grand opening is in May, and should
be a big improvement, but until then we are left without access
to the collection. As seeing work at first hand is an important
part of the GCSE course, Amanda Phillips, the Gallery Education
Officer, has solved the problem by coming to work with Year
10 students on their Myths and Legends project. She will be
bringing slides and artefacts from the gallery in order to
stimulate discussion and ideas. |

Year 12 students Jaswinder Chauhan and Sanpreet Mahey went
on a two day workshop at Leeds College of Art. Students
created CD covers, T-shirts and animations using the excellent
resources at the college and were inspired by music from
different cultures. However, Sanpreet maintains the best
part of the workshop was the motivational speaker Andrew
Mohammud who got them started with their initial ideas.
