Issue Number 08 | May 2020 The Art Department Monthly Instagram Competition Winners! For the month of April, the Instagram photography theme was appropriately ‘Toys in Lockdown’. We had a wide range of entries from Dr Who to Pac Man with all the toys keeping themselves busy during lockdown. The pupil winner with her dramatic Jack Skellington image was Eva Hastings who really captured the emotion of the current situation. The winner of the teacher’s category was Mr Bell who humorously portrayed the essence of video calling! The theme for May’s competition is ‘Reflections’. It can be a portrait, still life, landscape or abstract but experiment and be creative with the theme! Advanced Higher Success All 5 Advanced Higher Art and Design pupils have received unconditional offers to further their study in the field of Art & Design. They have received offers at top Art schools across the country; to study Fashion, Visual Communication, Digital Art and Photography. We are immensely proud of their achievements not only with regards to their Advanced Higher Folios but of the additional work required to develop a successful Art School Portfolio. Their work ethic, determination and drive has been truly outstanding, and they are an inspiration to those who hope to do the same next year. 6
