Despite the heat, students have still been making art work and taking photographs. We are so proud of all our students who have 'turned in' art and photography this week.
Student Work: 15th - 19th June
This week and last week we asked our students to create work in response to the recent events in the US and UK following the murder of George Floyd. We discussed the work of David Hammons and Barbara Walker but left it to students to decide what to focus on and how to respond. We have a few pieces to share this week, more to follow.
The slideshow below also includes work for other projects currently taking place in the department.

Royal Academy: Young Artist Summer Show
Congratulations to Lucy English in 9JC who has been selected for the Royal Academy’s online Young Artist Summer Show. Her piece, called Happy Place was shortlisted from over 17,000 entries.
Commiserations to the 38 Fortismere students who were not successful. The judges said: ‘We loved each and every artwork that was submitted and making the final selection was incredibly difficult. We hope that you will continue to create art and try again next year’. The online exhibition will go live on 17th July.
This week's celebration of student work also includes the submissions for the Department's Half Term Challenge, Banana Artwork, and three pieces in response to 'Be Radical', the theme for Art Education Week.
Well done to all students. Even if you are not featured in this slide doc, your work gives us an enormous amount of pleasure.

Well done to all students who have applied themselves to online Art and Photography lessons this week. We continue to be inspired and impressed by the work that comes in each week. Please contact the Department if you are struggling with any aspect of the work set via our email: ArtPhotography@fortismere.org.uk
Art & Photography Department Challenges
The Art & Photography Department has had some incredible submissions for the different challenges set earlier during the lockdown. Please take the time to look through them in the slide show below. A new Challenge will be set for the May Half Term.
Be inspired, create your own and share it with us. Remember, the image must be sent from a parent / carer email to ArtPhotography@fortismere.org.uk By doing this we will presume we have the permission of all participants to post the image on our website. You can get more information and inspiration from the instruction slide shows on our home page.
We will continue to update this slide show so keep checking.
