Useful websites for year 8 students

Art History

www.art.com

This is a very good way to see works of art displayed, but it won't tell you much about the works themselves

www.artlex.com

This is a comprehensive visual dictionary of more than 3,000 art terms, along with illustrations, pronunciation notes, and quotations. The index section is fantastic for research work, particularly if you are studying a particular artist or art movement. (much better than Google)

Mosaic Making

St. Albans has a fine tradition of Mosaic making, going back to the Romans at Verulanium. In Year 8 we base our mosaic designs on animals.Some students have made large frogs fron mod-roc (A type of plaster) while others have opted for a more 'traditional' method of mosaic design.
