It gives me great pleasure to be able to present to you the stunning artwork of this years’ GCSE and A Level Art students. This work which has been so thoughtfully, delicately and brilliantly created over the past two years is of course just a small snapshot of the wonderfully imaginative, thorough, personal, rich and diverse portfolios of artwork that our exceptional artists have produced during the last two years of their courses of study.

It is of course such a shame that we have been unable to celebrate their outstanding achievements in the usual way in school in the form of a physical exhibition, but I am sure you will agree that their artwork looks tremendous in this spectacular, special and unique digital exhibition.

We always have a unique title for the annual Art Exhibition, and this year is no exception. This year we are hoping that the girls still very much feel ‘A Part of Art’ even though we have been ‘Apart’ for a number of months now. The girls and their art will forever be in our hearts and we hope that their artwork will remain as special to them, as it is to us, and be a lasting legacy of what we, the staff, in the department feel has been such a memorable and wonderful time together in the Art studios.

Huge congratulations go out to each and every one of the girls; their absolute commitment, their thought-provoking ideas and their breath-taking technical prowess have been second to none.

The standard of work is beyond their years and we have been blown-away by the maturity of all aspects of their submissions.

The breadth and depth of themes that the girls have tackled continues to amaze us, from environmental issues such as ocean pollution and the effects of global warming on the seasons, through to cultural heritage and religion, and of course personal identity and experience.

Mrs Johnston wanted to particularl and their Personal Studies:

“ Presenting artwork inspired by con the Upper Sixth students have gen a variety of media. Exploring genre installation, computer generated d reflects their independence of min diversity has encouraged the grou other’s work and made for sophist analysis in their Related Studies. T artworld refers to all aspects of lif and the environment; portrayal of inspirations; mental illness; death; of subject matter chosen by our ar Withington’s future A’ Level studen

Mrs Taylor has added her congratu

“ It has been a pleasure to teach suc of artists over the last two years. T fantastic and the girls should feel

We all hope that all of the girls con and react to the world around them to positively voice their experience unprecedented times as this, artwo relaxation and reward, and artwork lasting and immediate illustration o leading.

When back in school, we will all be able to view the GCSE and A Level artwork in all it’s glory around the corridor and display spaces around school and this will certainly be something to look forward to in the new academic year. We would like to wish our unforgettable Upper Sixth Artists all the very best indeed for the next exciting chapter in their lives. We know they will be hugely successful and will find ways to be creative in all of their chosen degree courses.

We very much look forward to seeing the Upper Fifth back in school as Sixth Formers and hope that you enjoy seeing your work beautifully adorning and enhancing the walls in school for all students, staff and visitors.

Many congratulations again. We are so proud of you.
