We are delighted to be starting a new annual Michaelmas exhibition called Insight, showcasing work at our Senior School from all students in Years 6 and 7 who have each responded to a particular brief. Alongside this we will also be exhibiting new work from Year 12.
This show offers something different and complementary to our existing suite of yearly shows. Firstly, we have never exhibited Prep school work at the Senior School and secondly, Year 7 is a special time; it is the start of the Senior School experience and as such an opportunity to be challenged in new ways and understand your potential with fresh insight.
Year 12 are equally at the beginning of a fresh start; the end of GCSE and the beginning of A levels is a momentous time for students and their families. The Year 12 students have just finished their induction in which they tried out lots of different approaches to making and they are now considering what they might focus on; their exhibits are the first fruits of this progress.
Most exhibitions offer insight at the end of a course, but not the genesis; this is an opportunity to see rising stars grapple with what they will become; the lines are not clear, the work is experimental and we can reveal in seeing a snap shots of the beginning of things rather than the end.
The show is open from 4.30pm to 5.30pm on Tuesday 6 December. Please come along and share the invitation with any and all interested parties.
