Year 8 have been drawing from still life and developing Cubist style work.
Cubism was a European art movement in the Twentieth century, with Picasso being the most well known and influential artist of the group. Cubist artists were interested in distorting shapes to create improvised artwork. St Andrews International School Bangkok Year 8 students have been studying the art of the Cubists and have been using their ideas to inform their own creative interpretations. They have started by drawing real objects from direct observation, such as still life arrangements, as well as looking at how objects like glasses distort shape. Here are some examples of work in progress, from classwork and sketchbooks. We think you’ll agree that Year 8 are very creative.
Drawn for homework this is Pong’s ‘dragon eye’. It is based on detailed observation of an alligator’s eye and has a great range of textures and colours.
Students at St Andrews International School Bangkok have begun an exciting artificial intelligence project: integrating Nord Anglia’s “Misty the Robot” with conversational AI model, ChatGPT. Under the guidance of our Head of Robotics, Mr Rob Parker, they recently presented their results to Regional Managing Director, Mr Shaun Williams, as well as the Board of Directors at St Andrews, with the proposition of growing this project as a collaborative research venture across Nord Anglia schools.
