Patience and Perseverance
The Year 10 Visual Art students are having a lesson in patience and perseverance, whilst painting portraits in oils!
With recently acquired skills after working with our Artist in Resident, Wade Taylor, the girls are applying the technique of building up layers of paint. This is very much an exercise in perseverance, as it will take countless hours before the portraits will be complete!
