Open Art Awards Art
Our annual Open Art Awards inspired students, family and staff to explore their passions once again this year. Running since 2008, the competition allows entrants freedom to experiment in subjects and media.
Tanay Sabharwal Upper School runner-up
Ayanda Ncube Family winner
This year, we received an impressive selection of paintings, drawings, sculptures, needlework, photography and textiles. All entries were displayed for a private viewing in the School’s Shaw Gallery in January. Ms Stevens-Lewis, Teacher of Art and competition judge, says, “The quality of entries was remarkable. It is especially pleasing to see such a broad range of different creative skills within the School community.” Entries were judged by the Art Department, and the overall winner was Upper Sixth student Alice Bradshaw. Alice’s striking pink painting of a Sphynx cat caught the eye of the judges. Alice is not currently studying Art but says, “I wanted to enter the competition to challenge myself to complete a piece because I often get so busy with other things, I forget how much I enjoy painting. I love all cats, but I find Sphynx cats particularly appealing.
