A snapshot of last years GCSE Fine Art students’ art works from Leweston School have recently adorned the walls of the Black Hall within the school.
The student's works represent the culmination of a focused and explorative investigation into individual’s interpretation of the theme 'Place'. Students have chosen artists and artwork which inspires them, developed and refined relevant techniques and styles and employed a range materials and approaches in creating these works.
Caitlin H, GCSE Fine Art:
Caitlin’s work combines an illustrative style with the use of biros and fine liners, with a more painterly quality. Caitlin depicts beauty and nature and its place in the world.
Oliver N, GCSE Fine Art:
Oliver chose to represent ‘Place’ in a traditional drawing style through buildings and architecture. Oliver's monochromatic drawings are refined yet atmospheric interpretations of Leweston’s Manor House and Trinity Chapel.
Anna E-B, GCSE Fine Art:
Anna worked with a theme to represent the meaning and importance of ‘Place’. Through adding finely rendered drawings and water colour to layers of paper and maps, Anna adds a storytelling quality to the work.
Iris D, GCSE Fine Art:
Iris’s large scale expressive painterly works on cardboard, draw their inspiration from both traditional and contemporary painters including Turner and Koshlyakov. Iris's works are “emotional representations of a once inhabited place”.
Issy R, GCSE Fine Art:
Issy represents atmosphere and memories through depictions of buildings in the unique and experimental use of mixed media. A textural surface made from plaster is stained using inks to reveal objects and structures of architectural interest.
Jeanette J, GCSE Fine Art:
Jeanette’s atmospheric and haunting depictions of architectural details represent the notion of ‘Place’ as a memory. Jeanette's refined delicate technique allows for the image to have a shifting and none-static presence.
