Andromeda Class: September 2025 - July 2026

Art Week: Shining Together Through Art

Pop Art is a modern art movement from the 1950s and 60s that emerged in Britain and the US and is characterised by its use of imagery from popular culture, such as advertising, comics and celebrity, to challenge the exclusivity of fine art.  Key features include bright, bold colors, graphic styles, and techniques like screen-printing and collage to mimic mass-produced items. Prominent artists include Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, known for their iconic works like soup can prints and comic panel-style paintings.

ART: Peter Thorpe

Adromeda class have been inspired by Peter Thorpe's Rocket Paintings today in art.

Peter Thorpe has worked as a commercial artist since 1976.
