Artist in Residence

At the beginning of the term, the boys had the opportunity to work with Dr Oliver Watts (OS 1994), our Artist in Residence. 

Drawing inspiration from Henri Matisse's famous cut-outs, the boys explored papier collé, learning to "draw with scissors" as they created bold and colourful floral collages. Working alongside a practising artist encouraged creative experimentation and provided valuable insight into the artistic process. The resulting artworks were vibrant, imaginative and a wonderful showcase of the boys' creativity.
