With over 1700 entries submitted nationwide, and a total of 266 incredible artworks showcased at the final exhibition, we are thrilled to announce the following placed Heathfield students:
KS4 Drawing
First Place: E Sun – Synaesthesia
Ella explored the theme Synaesthesia and created this pencil drawing to represent the route the brain takes through multiple unrelated senses causing you to experience more than one sense simultaneously. The subject is wearing a fabric head piece which conceals the senses which is used as a physical representation of what a person experiencing Synaesthesia would feel.
KS4 Textiles
Second Place: F Hayes Flores – Coral Bleaching
Fernanda created a crocheted piece representing the impact of coral bleaching. The individual coral sculptures show how coral reefs support some of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. Thousands of marine animals depend on coral reefs for survival and as the coral reef ecosystems collapse, already at-risk species may face extinction.
KS4 Fashion
Highly Commended: T Ezeokoli – Kaleidoscope
Tamara’s garment is made from hair and it was created to represent the unjust transatlantic slave trade. During this time, captors would brutally shave the hair of women, stripping them of their cultural roots and identity. Later, after the slaves were sold to plantations, they would braid their hair in patterns resembling escape maps. The slaves also used braiding patterns to communicate with each other.
I am so proud of Heathfield’s students who were placed in multiple categories. At Heathfield we aim to empower each student to produce artwork with meaning and purpose in a range of media, we are able to fully support the students’ interests and cater their projects to reflect the ever-changing creative world. I believe this is evident in the range of outcomes which were put forward for the ISA competition.
