Three Visual Arts learners from Solihull Sixth Form College have had their Photography included in the Sixth Form College’s Association (SFCA) annual Exhibition.
Every year, the SFCA invite sixth form colleges around the country to enter artwork from their students for inclusion in the online exhibition. This year’s theme was ‘A Sustainable Future’ and artwork was also accepted from young people in Sweden.
Three learners on the College’s A level Art & Design Photography pathway had their work included in this year’s exhibition. Seren Jones was one of the students whose work was exhibited. Her piece, called ‘A New World’ showed a Flower made of rubbish with a butterfly sitting on top. Leah-Marie Scarlett’s artwork was called “In This Together’ and incorporated graphics and photography together to deliver messages about protecting nature and recycling waste. Meanwhile, Anfel Kesseir’s piece was entitled ‘The Changing Landscape’ and it depicted the clash of the natural world with man-made structures and pollution.
The artwork was shortlisted thanks to an internal competition run with the Natural Sciences department, which has seen all three pieces displayed in the Natural Sciences department at College.
Creative Arts Curriculum Leader Zoe Maksymiw commented: “Sustainability is something that our young people care a lot about, so this was an excellent theme for them to produce artwork for. We got some fantastic original work and it was difficult to narrow down our choices to just three pieces. I’m delighted to see their talents on show in a public exhibition.”
The SFCA exhibition can be viewed online.
