The art department regularly recognises the achievements of individual pupils in the senior school through the award of the title, ‘Artist of the Moment’. Entries cover a wide range of disciplines, including drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, installation and mixed media celebrating the diverse talents of pupils in our co-educational day school.
Our artist of the moment is Nora-Maya from 3C. Third Form are exploring the playful and experimental nature of Dadaism which was an avant-garde movement originating in Berlin in the early twentieth century. Artists such as Hannah Hoch cut out images and lettering from daily newspapers arranging them into a collage format in direct response to the political backdrop at the time. Hoch’s work often looks surprisingly contemporary considering some of it is over a hundred years old. Nora has used the Sketchbook App on her iPad to generate this impressive Dada inspired self-portrait. Well done Nora.
