This week our A level Art and Design students attended a life drawing workshop with visiting artist Scott Bridgwood. Scott is a full-time professional artist. He graduated from Chelsea College of Art in 1992. After exhibiting in and around London, he emigrated to Rome, Italy where he lived and worked as an Artist for ten years. It was there that he discovered his passion for figurative art.He now lives in Leicester where he still works as an Artist and teaches Life Drawing and Portraiture at Attenborough Arts in Leicester. He is a member of the ‘Leicester Society of Artists’.As this was some of the student’s first-time life drawing Scott guided them through a series of studies using a range of drawing techniques including drawing shadows, negative space and opposing curves. This artwork supports the work students are doing for their A level qualification and will be particularly useful for those students wishing to apply for foundation and degree courses in Art and Design subjects.The workshop was an excellent opportunity for our students to broaden their portfolio and gain knowledge from a professional practitioner. The students were a credit to Harington in the way they conducted themselves and the work they produced.#haringtonschool #art #lifedrawing

Students of A level French visited Paris last week, staying with students from the Lycée Jules Ferry. They had a morning of lessons at the school and visited places of cultural interest such as the Musée d’Orsay, Tour Montparnasse and the Musée de la déportation, as well as having an immersive art experience at the Atelier des Lumières where they saw works by Chagall. Many of the students have made life-long friendships, staying with their partners for the second time this year.#HaringtonSchool #FrenchTrip #Paris
The arrival of our Christmas tree is the first hint that we are entering our busy festive season. On Wednesday 13 December we will be welcoming Harington friends and family to All Saints’ Church in Oakham for an evening of carol singing, music and drama; there is no better way to start Christmas. Students will be invited to wear their Christmas jumpers for a non-uniform day on the last day of term (Friday 15 December) and there will be lots of festive food choices on the menu everyday next week.#HaringtonSchool #FestiveSeason #ChristmasTree #FestiveSpirit
