In Art, Year 10 have been developing their ability to draw and paint with realism and depth.

These hearts were inspired by the original anatomical studies, which date back to Hellenic Alexandria around 300 BC when pioneers like Herophilus first started human dissections. This early medical mapping evolved into a profound intersection of science and art during the Renaissance, driven by masters such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo Buonarroti seeking to perfect the human form.

To create these outcomes, artists were asked to carefully look at a real lamb’s heart and draw what they see. Each artist was able to select their choice of media, working with everything from ink, chalk and acrylic paint to watercolours, oil pastels and colouring pencils. As they continued to observe and draw, they added detail, shadows, and highlights to create realism and depth in their work.

Artists took risks to make their work more personal and interesting, some achieved this by using rich, bold colours to make their work more dynamic.
