Visual Arts

We are pleased to share the Howard Tanner Drawing Prize entries for 2024. It is wonderful to see such a diversity of practice and submissions from across all Year Groups. As a department we are thrilled to see our students extend their art making into their own time and to cultivate joy through their creative endeavour.

Drawing remains an important skill that teaches students close observation of the world around them, improves fine motor skills and provides an immersive space for contemplation. Drawing and working with visual mediums as a regular practice affords many opportunities to work on critical and creative skills to develop insight, awareness, understanding, and enhance articulation.

Drawing is a fundamental aspect of the SCEGGS Art Department programming, informed by a rich, exploratory investigation of drawing media, into both traditional and more experimental and expanded forms of expression.

These works will be on show during Week 7 alongside the co-curricular Drawing, Painting and Darkroom students work.

Details and formal invitations to be shared soon.

The winner will be announced by Ms Allum at Speech Night.

Congratulations to all these students!
