Art and Technology Exhibition
On Thursday, 23rd November, we held an Art and Technology exhibition with works created by students from years 7-10, who are completing a semester subject in Art or Technology. This exhibition showcased both a high level of creativity and techniques in a variety of art forms by our talented students.
Ms Schinzig, our Head of Art, would like to not only thank the students for their fabulous work, but also thank the students who were involved in setting up the exhibition. "Their help and leadership in this process was greatly appreciated."
There was a wide range of work on display from photography, textiles, fashion, paintings, drawings, woodwork, digital art and sculptures.
There were over 130 visitors to the exhibition. Each visitor provided positive and lovely comments about the quality of the students work. The visitors were asked to vote for their favourite works and the People's Choice Award winners will be revealed shortly.
Here is a selection of the wonderful displays.
