English - The Picture of Dorian GrayIn 1890, Oscar Wilde published the novel that would become his most famous work. It is a dark tale of a man who becomes corrupted by a life of pleasure but who remains, on the outside, forever young and beautiful. The person that Dorian Gray really is inside can only be seen in the painting of himself that he hides in his attic, that day by day becomes more and more hideous.

Extract 1…Dorian sees his painting for the first time…Chapter TwoDorian made no answer, but passed listlessly in front of his picture and turned towards it. When he saw it he drew back, and his cheeks flushed for a moment with pleasure. A look of joy came into his eyes, as if he had recognized himself for the first time. He stood there motionless and in wonder, dimly conscious that Hallward was speaking to him, but not catching the meaning of his words. The sense of his own beauty came on him like a revelation. He had never felt it before. Basil Hallward's compliments had seemed to him to be merely the charming exaggeration of friendship. He had listened to them, laughed at them, forgotten them. They had not influenced his nature. Then had come Lord Henry Wotton with his strange panegyric on youth, his terrible warning of its brevity. That had stirred him at the time, and now, as he stood gazing at the shadow of his own loveliness, the full reality of the description flashed across him. Yes, there would be a day when his face would be wrinkled and wizen, his eyes dim and colourless, the grace of his figure broken and deformed. The scarlet would pass away from his lips and the gold steal from his hair. The life that was to make his soul would mar his body. He would become dreadful, ideous, and uncouth.

Chapter Thirteen

An exclamation of horror broke from the painter's lips as he saw in the dim light the hideous face on the canvas grinning at him. There was something in its expression that filled him with disgust and loathing. Good heavens! It was Dorian Gray's own face that he was looking at! The horror, whatever it was, had not yet entirely spoiled that marvellous beauty. There was still some gold in the thinning hair and some scarlet on the sensual mouth. The sodden eyes had kept something of the loveliness of their blue, the noble curves had not yet completely passed away from chiselled nostrils and from plastic throat. Yes, it was Dorian himself. But who had done it? He seemed to recognize his own brushwork, and the frame was his own design. The idea was monstrous, yet he felt afraid. He seized the lighted candle, and held it to the picture. In the left-hand corner was his own name, traced in long letters of bright vermilion.

This week is aspirations week, so we are considering universities and what we want to be when we are older.

Due to you still being young, some of you may or may not know what you would like to be when you are older.

This week for art, you will create a mood board.

A mood board is a collage or collection of images and text merged together to give you ideas and inspiration. Many people create mood boards to collate ideas for decorating their room or wedding inspiration, for example:-

Task: to draw a mood board about what you would like to study at university. Usually you’d cut out ideas from magazines etc. however we want you to just draw ideas. Think about drawing your hobbies (a music note, clothes, football) and then reflect on your drawing and see what careers spring to mind. Remember your mood board doesn’t have to be tidy - it’s there to give you ideas.

We can be curators.
