On Thursday 21st January 13 GCSE and A Level students were joined by Mr Spence, Miss Fretche and myself on a trip to Penang to take part in the ISAE art weekend organized by Uplands School. After a nice ‘relaxing’ start to the day we arrived in Penang and met with the 3 other schools taking part in the intensive art workshops being held by practicing artists and architects. Randy and Judith, the organizers, encouraged the students to meet and make new friends from the beginning by giving them various activities to do which encouraged them to perhaps step out of their comfort zones; this included yoga poses, group interaction and stretches.
