Howard Tanner Drawing Prize
A reminder that submissions for the Howard Tanner Drawing Prize are due on the first Friday back of Term 4.
The Howard Tanner is a SCEGGS special award for Drawing. It is presented on Speech Night by Ms Allum.
We encourage all art students to submit work in any drawing media on any subject and on any scale. You can select drawings from classwork or create drawings at home using the skills learnt in art classes or the SCEGGS co – curricular drawing class with Lilli Stromland.
Eligible entrants are students from Years, 9, 10 and 11 and Year 7 and 8 students who attend co-curricular Drawing classes here at SCEGGS.
An exhibition of submitted drawings will be displayed at School in Term 4.
As it is an award for observational drawing it does not include manga or cartoon imagery.
You can hand in up to 3 drawings to Ms Jackson in the art staffroom at any time by the first Friday of Term 4, 14 October by 9.00am.
Please make sure your name and your year is clearly marked on the back of your work. Have fun Drawing!
Student Works
Congratulations to Romy Burke whose artwork has been selected to become part of the School’s HSC Graduate Collection, the Katrina Collins Collection. Romy made a range of dynamic, abstract sculptures and expanded her investigations in documented forms of these which reiterated the delicacy and energy of her 3 dimensional works.
