ARTiculation Prize 2023

Sebastian (Middle Sixth) took part in the London Regional Heat of the ARTiculation Prize 2023 at the Whitechapel Gallery London. This is a national public speaking competition talking about an artwork of the student’s choice. Sebastian spoke eloquently on the artist Richard Dadd’s 'Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke' and highlighting issues about mental health and other narratives within the piece. Nine schools took part in this heat and the talks hit the ‘wow’ factor. The adjudicator was artist Rachel Jones. Sebastian was confident in his presentation and he was praised for his engaging talk and use of digital graphics; the adjudicator said his talk was ‘brilliant'. A big well done for him in taking part and speaking so well in front of a packed auditorium. He was a credit to the School at such a prestigious event.
