Hi all,
Here is a rundown of some of the beautiful artwork that has been produced by our wonderful XP and XPE students during lockdown 3.0.
As a team, we have been blown away by the effort and resilience that our pupils are showing.
I hope you enjoy having a flick through their work as much as we have.
Year 10 started this expedition with an immersion task practising their skills on digital design apps. Students worked on a range of devices and using different apps which allowed them to edit and filter images that they’d chosen. We grappled with the apps and started off by creating a horror film poster.
We also looked at the principles of good design, and then started to create our own posters for the fictional movie – Emerald Bay. Miss Taylor and Mr. Jackson were really pleased with the work that everyone managed to produce – especially considering the wide range of skills and experience that the classes started out with. Well done year 10!
X27 Skipper experimenting with watercolour paint
Here are some Year 7 Rowan Leckie inspired watercolour studies where pupils experimented with the different results that can be achieved on cartridge paper and watercolour paper.
First week back and the y10s have smashed it with beautiful work and in depth analysis!
Wow! Year 7! What an amazing start to your art sessions at XP. You have all been a pleasure to teach and I am sooo excited to see your skills in art get better and better.
This half term, we have been concentrating on ‘line’ and ‘mark-making’.
I asked pupils to look carefully at this artwork by Olga Gamynina and have a go at re-creating it. Look at this beautiful work!

Amazing work Year 7! Well done!
Amazing prints by X26
Really impressed with Y8’s prints from today’s art lesson.
It was lovely to see the enthusiasm and excitement of the students with this new technique.
X27 has had their first extended study set for art this week and I have been really impressed with their submissions.

Well done X27 Admiral. I am looking forward to seeing X27 Skippers’ efforts (they are due in on Monday……no pressure).
We are back to school for a new term. Back to home learning and trying our best – having good days and bad days and just trying to get through and stay safe.
Crew EJN were ready for a break and a little time off last week. Luckily the weather was absolutely stunning!
This is what crew got up to:
Arthur went on lots of walks, met his grandad and took Dotty the dog for a walk and play. He had his first KFC in months (Its was delicious!) He went to Birkin fisheries for ice cream and a picnic and he saw lots and lots of ducklings. He also made a bug hotel for his garden by cutting lots of bamboo up and putting twigs around an old pop bottle in a plant pot. He also painted a pebble to say thankyou to the NHS.

Brandan went to Cleethorpes for the day (social distancing of course) and sat and played on the beach. He also went to his sisters for the day where they had a new pool and a 7ft dinosaur sprinkler called Dino.
Tammy built a bird table and found an old colouring book to colour in.
As well as being out in the sunshine, crew were still keeping busy with their home learning tasks.
Max has created some lovely artwork based on the artist Kandinsky
Crew EJN have also made a cracking start on their Visual Dairies for their new expedition called ‘Above all, compassion’. Here are their front covers

Well done crew!
