ART & DESIGN
Winning Design for MINI A design created by Imogen Padwick was selected to feature on the roof of a MINI car. More than 250 Chigwell pupils entered the competition organised by Sytner Chigwell and our Art Department and both school staff and the judges from Sytner Chigwell
were amazed by the range and standard of entries. Each of the different themes was interpreted with great individuality, flair and skill and selecting an overall winner was a very difficult task. After much deliberation, designs by Jordan Cohen, Imogen Padwick, Poppy Bradley, and Greg Garland were shortlisted,

Art & Design and Design & Technology Summer Exhibition The 2013 Art and Design and Design and Technology Summer Exhibition 2013 opened to the public on Thursday 4th July. Parents, staff, pupils and friends of the school attended the opening and it was a really fantastic occasion.
Visitors had the opportunity to view examples of art, design and D&T work made by pupils from all year groups in the school’s art gallery. The quality of the work on show was stunning and the exhibition reflected the strength of the creative subjects at the school. The range of work on display was incredibly diverse. Visitors could see examples of paintings that had been influenced by Picasso, mixed
media T-shirts that had been inspired by Punk, and there was even one piece of art that incorporated living snails. The GCSE, AS and A2 groups have once again not only been able to make their exam and coursework projects to an outstanding standard, but each project was highly personal and demonstrated, very convincingly, the individual flair and talent of our pupils. n
