As the Year 10 Mid-Year Exams draw to a close this week, it seems like a good opportunity to reflect on how they started the year, with all Arts exams, and take a look at what students did in their Fine Art assessment.
This year, students have been exploring the theme of Architecture, looking into drawing, painting, digital media and other mixed media techniques so far. Year 10 Fine Art exam students were encouraged to consider Architecture from a 2D relief and 3D perspective. Their brief was to investigate a range of paper and cardboard making techniques from the starting point of one unit (or geometric form), and then create a 3D dimensional sculpture through repetition.
We think you might agree, that for a first exploration into 3D work, the students were impressively risk-taking and imaginative in their interpretations of the brief, well done Year 10s!

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.
