Heddiw, cymerodd ein disgyblion ffotograffiaeth Blwyddyn 10, ynghyd â grŵp o ddisgyblion Blwyddyn 9 brwdfrydig a fydd yn dechrau’r cwrs ym mis Medi, ran mewn sesiwn tynnu lluniau traeth ysbrydoledig yn Aberafan. Rydym yn hynod ffodus i gael lleoliad mor syfrdanol dim ond taith gerdded fer o’r ysgol, gan gynnig y cefndir perffaith ar gyfer archwilio cyfansoddiad, goleuo, a safbwyntiau creadigol. Cipiodd y disgyblion ystod eang o ddelweddau, o weadau a phatrymau agos i olygfeydd môr eang ac eiliadau gonest, a hynny i gyd wrth ddatblygu eu sgiliau technegol ac arsylwadol. Da iawn i bawb a gymerodd ran, rydym yn gyffrous i weld sut mae gwaith heddiw yn siapio prosiectau’r dyfodol!
Today, our Year 10 photography pupils, together with a group of enthusiastic Year 9 pupils who will start the course in September, took part in an inspiring beach photo shoot in Aberafan. We are extremely fortunate to have such a stunning location just a short walk from the school, offering the perfect backdrop for exploring composition, lighting, and creative perspectives. The pupils captured a wide range of images, from close-up textures and patterns to wide seascapes and candid moments, all while developing their technical and observational skills. Well done to everyone who took part, we are excited to see how today’s work shapes future projects!
Yr wythnos hon yw sesiwn olaf y Clwb Celf eleni, ac mae wedi bod yn daith greadigol! Gellir gweld y disgyblion yn gwisgo eu topiau a’u bagiau tie-dye pwrpasol eu hunain, dathliad lliwgar o’u creadigrwydd a’u hunigoliaeth. Mae wedi bod yn wych gweld eu hyder a’u sgiliau’n tyfu bob wythnos. Diolch yn fawr iawn i bawb sydd wedi cymryd rhan. Rydym eisoes yn edrych ymlaen at yr hyn a ddaw ym mis Medi!
