Every school included a portrait, painting, drawing, photograph or sculpture of  classmates, family members or respected people of many and varied cultures. From Swanshurst school’s  4 meter long series of portraits in charcoal to Bishop Challoner’s 2 meter high painted portrait’s on board images of young people proudly stared out. Traditional art skills abound alongside contemporary applications of colour and concepts to make the studio exhibition space burst with the enthusiasm, emotions and the vibrancy of the makers and their subjects.

Go see for the next few days in the sun.  All these talented artists will have the opportunity to extend themselves with the new Foundation course at The School of Art beginning in September.
