International Creative Collaboration Our Year 9 Art and Photography students recently took part in an inspiring online workshop with a partner school in China. Together, they explored the traditions and symbolism of Chinese New Year before creating their own printmaking designs inspired by cultural symbols such as dragons, carp and other lucky motifs. The workshop provided a fantastic opportunity for cultural exchange, collaboration and creativity, allowing students to connect with international peers while developing their artistic skills. We are incredibly proud of the beautiful and imaginative prints they produced and the enthusiasm they showed throughout the experience. Well done to everyone involved! #HoeValleySchool #ArtAndPhotography #CulturalExchange #CreativeLearning #ChineseNewYear
