Concept Week

This week in Art, Graphics and Photography, our AL1 students have been focusing on concepts and exploring how, moving forward, they can create a personal journey or a story within their work. To familiarise them with how concepts are conceived, developed and then executed, we asked for a few volunteers from A2 to present their own work and explain how they have created their own personal concepts and how they have evolved throughout their coursework. Developing an individual and original body of work is vital to reach high grades as it is difficult to do - especially when everyone is starting from the same theme.  However we are really proud of the way the current A2 cohort have taken up this challenge and want them to inspire the AL1 cohort with their exciting and innovative work.  Thank you so much to all these volunteers for doing this!

Our A2 students were asked to respond to the following questions in their presentation:

What initially inspired me about the starting theme of Environment?

What artists have influenced my work?

What is the concept behind my work?

How have I represented this concept visually? 

The presentations were a great success and well received by our first year students - here are some photos of what went on.
