GET A NEW PERSPECTIVE
We are delighted to announce that we will be hosting an art exhibition in collaboration with Art-Amis Gallery. The exhibition, ‘Perspectives and Art’, showcasing the works of 6 artists will be hosted at the school between Friday 16th and Tuesday 20th May.
All parents, and other special guests, are invited to meet the artists at the opening of the exhibition and VIP private view which takes places on the evening of Friday 16th May from 7.30pm.
The exhibition is open to all on Monday 19th May and the morning of Tuesday 20th May.
This year has been a particularly successful one for the school Art department, with 2 Year 6s and 4 Year 8s gaining Art Scholarships to date. Phoebe Neal, Year 6, also won the Haileybury Art Competition, with several other Heath Mount artists gaining prizes. Two films made by Year 4 and last summer’s leavers were selected for screening at the Co-operative Young Film-Makers Festival in Bradford last autumn. Each year, all Heath Mount children have the opportunity to learn and develop animation techniques by working alongside our film-maker in residence.
Victoria Webster, a highly esteemed international illustrator, is a former Heath Mount artist-in-residence. An illustrator of children’s books, Victoria has completed commissions for both the Halifax Building Society and Cadbury, lectured at colleges and universities and has her own range of greeting cards available on the high street.
The ‘Perspectives and Art exhibition’ will showcase Victoria’s work along with that of 5 other artists. Both Victoria Webster and Malcolm Fryer will be leading workshops for our Year 6 pupils and Year 7 & 8 Art Scholars, providing our children with a great opportunity to work alongside professional artists and further develop their skills and inspiration.
We hope that you will join us for this exciting exhibition. For more details on the Art-Amis Gallery 'Perspectives and Art' exhibiton, please contact Vicky Smith in the School Office on 01920 830 230 or visit the Art Amis website
