On Wednesday the 6th July, students went to the Chisenhale Art Gallery where we went to see our sculptures that we had made few months ago, also to see sculptures that another school had made which were also held in the Chisenhale Gallery. Whilst at the gallery we looked at art by Josephine Pryde, I found her work quite unusual but fascinating at the same time because it was a type of art that I hadn’t seen before.
During our project Argentinean artist Amalia Pica worked with St Paul’s Way Trust School in the art department, she really engaged and enjoyed working with us. She was pleased to meet students with bright imagination and who put a lot of hard work and effort into their art.
As part of the project with Amalia, we evaluated our final project and took part in a group activity which was exciting because it helped us to work together.
As part of Amalia’s work with the Chisenhale Gallery she also made a sculpture of her own about living in Tower Hamlets, entitled ‘I am Tower Hamlets’. Part of her project is for people in the local borough being able to sign up to take it home for a week and then they must pass it on to the next person so that people can see the type of artist that Amalia is. Ms Hill, of St Pauls Ways Trust School will also have for a week Amelia’s art piece and place it somewhere in the school so we can see the sculpture, she carved out of stone. We were very really lucky for Amalia to come to our school and work with us.
Overall it was a very good experience because you can see the similarities and difference of art works produced from other schools and it gave us a chance to meet other artists that can inspire kids like us and to help us get more involved in projects in school and after school and so we can engage and visit more galleries.

Art review - by Zahid Hamzah – Yr9
A wed in February we went to the Chsenhale Art Gallery to see an exhibition of work be Daniel Sinsel’s small handcrafted paintings and sculptures which explore classical themes of space, volume and illusion and combine art historical references. We were all fascinated by a specific painting by Daniel Sinsel; this painting was fascinating because it created an illusion of an object within a setting of architectural forms, in this case a yellow square with a rip, surrounded by classical columns. The object looked like it was 3-D but really it was 2-D. I like this idea of inserting something modern for example maybe a car or a machine into a historic setting. |
