Art News The Art School and the Lancing College creative family have united through art during this unique term as we launched our first-ever online gallery on Instagram #LancingCollegeArtClub. It demonstrated first-hand the power art can have to contribute to wellbeing during this period of lockdown. The gallery is still open to any member of a Lancing College household – students, parents, siblings (whether they are Lancing students or not); a huge thank you to everyone who got involved.

Our virtual Summer Exhibition opened on Founder’s Day and celebrated the brilliant work of our GCSE and A Level Fine Art students. Excitingly, for the first time we also had the opportunity to enjoy the work of our GCSE Art Photography students. Congratulations go out to all involved; as ever the students made us very proud to have been part of their art journey, with a special mention for our prize winners: Xinyue Ji, A Level Fine Art (destination BA Hons Interior Design, UAL); Oscar Loveridge (GCSE Fine Art); and Oriana Hoi (GCSE Art Photography). The exhibition can be viewed here: vimeo.com/420792255/4eead0ab9d The remote Art classroom has been extremely busy as our Third, Fourth and Lower Sixth students continued to amaze us with their ingenuity and artistic talents as they created work at home. Third Form students got creative with their iPads. Fourth Form GCSE Fine Art students focused on developing their personal project considering a range of themes, from expression to crowds. Fourth Form GCSE Art Photography students built their own home studios and explored animation for the first time, creating some entertaining stories. Lower Sixth Fine Art students had fun creating ‘post box’ art, making unique pieces to adorn envelopes or building folded creations that are, as we speak, making their way to the Art School via snail mail from all over the world!
