This painting uses a thermal colour scheme to reflect the warmth of family relationships.

Afterword

A message from the Head - Ms Geldeard

This collection of work marks such tremendous creative initiative. It is the opportunity to see young talent explore the visual language and communicate insightful thoughts on their experience of life. With reflections on the psyche, the influence of society and the challenges which impact this generation, it is the culmination of two years of an artistic journey, inspired by the many artists that have gone before. It is a privilege to watch our future creators hone their craft and discover their voice. The Summer Arts Show is an important celebration of everything that we want to keep alive – creative endeavour and brave experimentation. My congratulations to all our young artists and thanks to the Sydenham High Art Department.
