It appears that we may have sorted our technical glitch and now hope posting can continue as usual!
Posted today is work by Form II. They spent last week examining the concept of emotions and feelings and how they are expressed. Firstly they chose an emotion from a list provided, and were asked to reflect the meaning of the word in the text of the word. This could include imagery as well as suitable use of colour, size, shape and type of font.
Their next exercise in exploring the concept of how we experience emotions and feelings is to create an 'emotional box'. Once again pupils were asked to choose an emotion from a list provided and to create a box in which the emotion can be felt . Results will be posted in the coming weeks and it will be interesting to see how we image emotions can be tangibly felt!

That said, we are looking forward to another hugely creative and productive year! Congratulations to the Form VI leavers whose overall exam performance was, once again, incredible. We are also looking forward to a very exciting exhibition which is none other than an exhibition of Old Columban Artists which will take place here at The College during the coming Michaelmas Term; more news on that in the coming weeks. We also look forward to working with the new budding artists some of whom displayed their talents for us last term.
Today the College hosted an induction day for new Junior entrants to the College for the next academic year. The Art Department had an opportunity to tap into their create side this afternoon, and inspired by the work of Wassily Kandinsky they produced a huge mural in less than one hour! In fact until the work is fully dry and hanging on a wall it is impossible to photograph it as a mural!
