Artwork of the Week

The Artwork of the Week award celebrates the creative excellence of pupils throughout all years at Stoke College. The Award is presented at the whole-school church assembly, every week.

In a very busy start to our Summer term, we have still managed to celebrate the wonderful artwork created by students at Stoke College with the Artwork of the Week award.

Exhibited in our beautiful church, the first student whose work was displayed in front of the whole school was Year 13 art student Angus, for his detailed interior collage and acrylic illustration. This piece was inspired by artist Patrick Caulfield, who Angus researched whilst visiting Tate Liverpool for his A-Level studies.

Then, GCSE student Henry won this award for the second time this year, for his monoprint and colouring pencil surreal landscape. It felt particularly fitting that Henry’s work was on display the week of his GCSE art examination, to celebrate his continued effort and creativity in the arts.

Next, new Stoke student Emily in Year 9 was celebrated for her fantastic demonstration of imagination and in class analysis skills that lead to her disproportionate cityscape collage. Well done Emily for making such a strong impression in the Art department.

Finally for this half term, a huge congratulations to Angus who won the award for the second time. This time for his colouring pencil self-portraits. Just two were selected from his final component of his A-Level Art & Design, a strong body of work that contributed to the end of his qualification in a final three-day exam. Well done to all students who have accomplished new levels of imagination, creativity and skill in the Art department already this term, I look forward to seeing what work is made in the near future! To see all previous winners of the academic year 2022-23, make sure to pay a visit to Hambling to see Miss Coll’s display of all past and present winners.
