In a spectacular culmination of their work, our talented pupils took part in the Lancing College Art and Design & Technology Exhibition. The pieces reflected their heightened understanding and creative interpretation of different styles, materials, genres and themes.
Design and Technology Exhibition - Mr Tim Meierdirk, Head of Design & Technology
The air buzzed with excitement as students, parents, and staff gathered for the annual Open Evening, dedicated to showcasing the remarkable work of our GCSE and A Level Design and Technology (DT) students.
For many, it was a chance to see their children's talents recognised and to witness the culmination of years of hard work and perseverance. One parent remarked, "Seeing my child's project on display and hearing them explain their work with such confidence is truly rewarding."
Below is a gallery of some of the projects that were on display:
The Art School Summer Exhibition 2024 - Mrs Judith Renfrew, Head of Art
Knotted ropes, a tent, a photo booth, stuffed tights, clouds raining ink, hanging balls of felt with tiny eyes: where could we find all this - and more - but the Lancing Art School Summer Show?
This was a bumper year of highly personal Fine Art and Photography by the Fifth Form GCSE and Upper Sixth A Level students.
Yet again, the sheer range of styles and media used were perhaps the most talked about aspect of the show. Several students took advantage of the relatively new integration of photographic screen printing into the Art School repertoire of available processes. Work was presented in a variety of sizes too – from a monumental floor to ceiling charcoal self-portrait, to an intimate family portrait that would fit in the palm of a hand. Photographers really stunned with some large format prints; a high-tech image appeared on the wall as if by magic, created by scanning a barcode on an iPad; the noisy, fish and chip, deckchair experience of Brighton and its iconic pier was joyfully recreated in an installation in the Art School foyer.
This was indeed a celebration of inventiveness and self-expression; we thoroughly enjoyed working together to enable our artists to create such a wonderful show!
