Celebrating International Women's Day

Kathryn Hall Director of Art & Design and Technology, Nicky Cases Head of Senior School Art, Dulwich College (Singapore)

Dulwich College (Singapore) hosted the first online art and design competition, setting students the challenge to produce a piece of digital artwork celebrating women and their achievements.

The range of work was impressive, with nearly 300 entries highlighting incredible contributions to women in our society; Rosa Parks, Jane Goodall, Malala Yousafzai, Coco Chanel, Emma Watson and Marie Curie were popular selections. It was also fantastic to see the research and presentation of significant contemporary female role models including Amanda Gorman and Emma Gonzalez.

The technical skills using Adobe Photoshop, digital photography and Procreate to compose images that had a clear impact were the main criteria for the evaluation process.
