The Big Draw 2022

The theme for this year’s Big Draw event was ‘come back to colour’. Pupils across all three schools participated this year and we explored how the world could be if we allowed nature to flourish. This resulted in a vibrant and dynamic exhibition of birds, insects and flora installed in the gallery, immersing the audience in a make-believe rainforest.

Kath Hadden - Visiting Artist

Exeter School art scholars were visited by a local artist, Kath Hadden, who ran a brilliant oil painting workshop; teaching both the scholars and teachers some useful tips and techniques on the manipulation and application of oil paints, as well as how to paint landscapes. Our scholars then went on to produce some brilliant landscape paintings in the workshop, all varying in subject and style. We were so grateful to have such a wonderful artist come to the school to pass on her knowledge and expertise and we thoroughly look forward to visits from more artists in the future.
