In Art lessons last week, Year 7 pupils produced a pencil drawing of the Barr Beacon Memorial. This drawing was focusing on the tones within the image. Year 8 pupils produced a pencil drawing of a boiled sweet. This drawing was focusing on how to draw in proportion and the tones within the image.

Year 9 pupils produced experimental portrait drawing. They did continuous line drawings, opposite hand drawings, blind drawings and caricatures to start building confidence to produce a portrait drawing.

On Thursday 9th January, all of the Year 10 and Year 11 BTEC Dancers took part in the Black Country Dance Hub Careers day.   The day involved pupils taking part in 4 exciting workshops with dance companies, colleges and universities and learning about all of the future career pathways Dance can offer.   Barr Beacon School was very lucky to get a workshop with Motionhouse, Liverpool institute of Performing Arts, Fabric and BOA.

Pupils also were able to walk round the ‘Dance Marketplace’ which included Universities and Colleges that offered Dance courses in the area and beyond. Our Barr Beacon Dancers were fantastic ambassadors for the school by asking many questions and getting involved in every workshop. Mrs Downes and Mrs Parkes were incredibly proud of the dancers and their professionalism -  they were all a credit to the school, demonstrating our Beacon values.
