into photography, printmaking and painting while they develop
their ideas around anthropomorphism. Students are encouraged
to try all media and find the style and technique that best suits
them. Taking risks with media is an important learning curve for
students and while some pieces of work may not be successful,
through experimentation they will find what does work for them.Overcoming Challenges
In their anthropomorphic tasks students are required to use
photographs of themselves. Even in this selfie-obsessed era,
overcoming self confidence issues is a big thing for all teenagers
but putting themselves into their artwork makes for some
powerful imagery. It also stresses to students the importance of
overcoming challenges and telling your story through your art
work. Providing students with an exciting and fun topic, along
with a focus on learning rather than assessment we are seeing our
students achieve at an increasingly high level. More importantly
they are having fun and there is nothing more rewarding for a
teacher than that.
