Visiting alumni talk
A Level Fine Art students were given the opportunity to attend a talk and portfolio presentation from a former A* A Level Fine Art student who was completing a BA (Hons) in make-up for media and performance at Arts University Bournemouth.
Students learnt the process of preparing an art portfolio for degree interviews as well as gaining an understanding of the development which takes place over the course of a creative arts degree. Students gained valuable first hand insights into a career in the creative arts.

Artist studio visit
GCSE and A Level art students (aged 15 to 18 years) had the unique opportunity to visit the London studio of the Turner Prize nominee, Cathy de Monchaux. Students were given a personal tour of the studio by the artist and gained valuable insights into an artist's daily working practises, ideas and techniques.
The visit was a valuable experience which benefitted student's own artistic working practices through increased understanding of idea development and exploration and learning through experimentation.
