This year the Art Department entered 7 artworks for the Royal Academy Young Artists’ Summer Show in London and 1 of them has been selected!

This is the first entry from our school to be accepted for this open submission exhibition, which celebrates the art of students aged 4-19 studying in the UK every year . The painting “Date with a Wizard Frog”, created by Heather Robinson in S1, will be part of the online exhibition from 15 July, as well as the display at the Royal Academy from 15 July to 10 August.

This is the full list of participants this year:

• Emily Russell – S4

• Adam Bodie – S3

• Anna MacLean – S3

• David Macleman – S2

• Alasdair Matheson – S2

• John Hector Kane – S1

• Heather Robinson – S1

You can see their artworks here. These were all done in pupils' own time; some used the lunchtime clubs in the department and some worked at home. The ideas, themes and inspirations all came from them.
