Autumn Art and Creativity

At Melland High School, our students have been busy with a variety of creative projects. Sixth Form students have been experimenting with cyanotype printing, a photographic technique that uses sunlight to create blue and white prints. By arranging objects on light-sensitive paper and exposing them to UV light, they’ve learned about light exposure. Students have been using the cyanotype technique they have learned to design and create Christmas cards for sale at the Winter Fair.

In Key Stage 4, our Design Technology students are working on an exciting project for the upcoming school show, Robin Hood. They are designing and making props, from swords to a throne, using a variety of materials. This hands-on project is helping them develop valuable skills in problem-solving and teamwork, while contributing to the success of the school production. We can’t wait to see their creations in action on stage!
