At Second Level we have been creating multi-layered mixed media collages inspired by Mark Hearld. We created textured backgrounds with bright colours and then cut out our collage birds and figures. We added fine details and lines. Then we added more textured layers with tissue paper. We learned that it is important to make sure all the edges are stuck down to make a more professional artwork.

They then tried to evaluate their work looking at the visual elements. Next term we will TALK about Art more often as part of ACfE Evaluating and Appreciating Art. The work is on display around the corridors and hall. Tell us what you think.
