Botanical Forms

Take a look at one of our Year 10 IGCSE student’s art blog 🙂

Bogdana

I’m currently preparing for my upcoming art exam and the topic is “Botanical Forms“.

Once I went for a walk to take some pictures of the plants, but it wasn’t just because of the exam! I always liked flowers and exotic and nice plants. Unfortunately, there are no exotic plants in Denmark except for botanical garden (I also went there), but since now it is spring, everything starts to bloom and just wakes up. So many  beautiful trees and flower had waken up and I liked that.

Spring is my favorite season, and I hope you understand why.

Also, we went on a trip to the Botanical Garden in Copenhagen which was amazing, because the weather was so good and we had so much fun there!

Last Friday at NGG International School in Denmark,  there was a special assembly held to celebrate all the fabulous artworks that had been submitted to the “Houses Art Competition 2016.

There were a great many submissions, and a high standard of work from across the whole school. After much debate, four winning pieces were chosen from each year. Thereafter, four over all winners were chosen from both Primary and Secondary.

Four winning pieces were chosen from each year. The NGGI Houses are: Dragons (red), Horses (green), Wolves (yellow) and Wild Boars (blue). We then selected the best from both of our Primary and Secondary Schools.

Here are the four Primary winners:

And the Secondary School winners:

These eight winning artworks will now be featured in the 2016 NGG International School Yearbook.

Here are some photos taken by me during our Royal-art trip, Hørsholm, DK. 10-09-2015

The last remain of the Christian’s VI and Caroline Mathilda’s summer residence – the Hørsholm Church.

The foundation of the castle.

Also, there was a piece of glass from the castle, on which Caroline Mathilda scratched these words with her ring:

Siming’s Student Art Blog

The first of the new crop of student art blogs from our Year 10 Art and Design students at NGG International school:

Simings blog

Ghosts

Princess Caroline Mathilde?

With a pinch of imagination,  and if you screw your eyes up tightly enough, you might just see the profile of a young woman in the picture above.
This is the first big art and design project for year 10 IGCSE students. They’ve been asked to make atmospheric photographs of the site of a ruined palace – close to our international school in Hørsholm, Denmark.

Year 10

Over the past few weeks these talented students have been learning the fundamental principals behind sketching, mark marking, tone and creating accurate still life drawings.

All these skills, plus the students setting-up their own WordPress art blogs and arty Instagram accounts to showcase their fine art, will be featured from time to time on this blog.
Please ‘follow’ their progress with us through the next two years!

See how they grow!
