Over these two days professional artists will be creating work with the Year 8 pupils. There will be an opportunity to view the work produced at the end of the two days. Also as part of this programme, the pupils will have the opportunity to create a short film. They will learn how to make a film from building the story boards through to planning camera angles and shooting the film. The end film project will be shown in the Michaelmas term.
