Year 7 Art 

Lighthouse Sculptures

Mr Tighe’s Year 7 Art students have been busy researching lighthouses and creating detailed drawings of them. This initial phase allowed them to delve into the history and significance of these maritime structures, sparking their curiosity and creativity. Following this research, the students learnt the technique of coil building to craft lighthouses out of clay, applying their newfound knowledge to create three-dimensional representations.

The results were truly impressive. The students produced well-formed shapes that were carefully decorated using underglaze colours, showcasing their attention to detail and artistic skills. Each lighthouse was unique, reflecting the individual creativity and dedication of the students. This hands-on project not only enhanced their understanding of art techniques but also provided a platform for them to express their artistic visions.
