In September, a group of students from 9S
went on a successful trip to
the Tate Modern Art Gallery, to take part in a workshop. Last term, the
students were part of an art workshop to design and make a banner for
the Thames Festival Puzzle Pathway. The students of 9S worked in
collaboration with two artists, Shona Watt and Pete Gomez. They worked
together to create an art work that was inspired by the Brazilian
artist, Beatriz Milhazes. The work was displayed along the Thames Path
of the South Bank as part of the Mayor's Thames River Festival (with up
to 1 million spectators).
The banner will also be displayed in
Kolkata, India as part of the Riverfront Festival (with over 1 million
expected spectators) and as part of the 3 Gorges Festival in Chongqing,
China (with up to 15 million spectators). The trip was exciting and
rewarding for all involved. We are all proud of our international rising
stars. Well done!
