As Year 11 Fine Art students investigated new artists to support them develop ideas for their final exam unit, Year 12 Students honed their painting skills ‘in the moment’, inspired by the Louvre’s current temporary exhibition on Impressionism, meanwhile, Year 10 Photography students were busy ‘capturing the moment’, observing the world around them.
Architecture is the current project focus for Year 10 Fine Art students who are exploring a range of art media, techniques and processes including painting, line drawing and digital media to inspire their own original artworks. Whilst other classes were ‘in the moment’, Year 10 Fine Artists were busy constructing it, learning about the Louvre’s phenomenal architectural design, they worked collaboratively in teams to rethink design elements into new and sculptural 3D forms…Exploring ways of seeing the world is an important part of creative thinking and innovation.
If all of the activities mentioned weren’t already enough, the Louvre decided to deliver another magical moment for our students, as they witnessed two new enormous turtles being introduced back into the sea, at the Louvre’s turtle sanctuary pool. A partnership between The National Aquarium, Environment Agency and the Louvre, has turtles reintroduced to the sea in a secure pool as part of their rehabilitation before they are released back into the wild. What a moment, what a day… Thanks to our brilliant students and the Louvre for making it so memorable!
In 2014 Mrs. Lowe arrived to teach at the British International School Abu Dhabi, excited to work with the Physical Education Department to implement and embed Dance within both the curriculum and the CCA programme. Schemes of work were created for FS1 to Year 9 and all PE teachers received professional development training to understand the fundamentals of Dance, to discover the importance of Dance and how movement can be creative and powerful.
Last week, Mrs. Stanier, our Head of Humanities, had the pleasure of accompanying three of our amazing students: Tia and Renad from Year 12, and Turkan from Year 10, to Houston, Texas, to take part in the NAE UNICEF summit. We were thrilled to be hosted by one of our Nord Anglia schools, The Village School in Houston, the first Child-Friendly City in the US recognised by UNICEF. The Village School is a boarding school, so the students got to experience what life was like as a boarding student there for the week.
