CTK students’ artwork featured in SFCA National News Exhibition
The Sixth Form Association (SFCA) launched a national art exhibition this week, featuring work from CTK students. Entitled ‘Fake News’ the exhibition showcases students’ creative interpretation of the Fake News theme and their reflections on how hard it can be to distinguish fact from fiction.
More than 250 students from 58 colleges submitted their artwork for the exhibition, which runs from 1st to 22 July. All pictures can be viewed at the SFCA gallery website here.
Art work from numerous Christ the King Sixth Form students has been included in the online exhibition;
‘Fake News’ by Jessica Benjamin, an A Level Photography student
‘Mid Cap Value Equity’ by Mya Scott, studying A Level Graphic Communication
‘Monitor’ by Amrit Khaira, an A Level Fine Art student
‘Schrödinger’s Cat’ by Rimmini Cameron who is studying BTEC Extended Diploma Art & Design
‘Segregation’ by Destiny Kiberu, an A Level Graphic Communication student
‘Surveillance’ by Nathan Osei- Prempeh an A Level Graphic Communication student
‘Textn’ by Victoria Pansu who is studying A Level Graphic Communication
‘we’llwatchtheworldburn’ by Matilda Millbank, an A Level Graphic Communication student.
Bill Watkin, Chief Executive of the Sixth Form Colleges Association, said: “The Fake News exhibition is a celebration of the arts and a recognition of the excellence in sixth form colleges, which are a vital supply pipeline of talented artists. But it also highlights how young people feel about having to navigate the vast amount of news and information that is available in the modern world, and at the same time, to discern what is the truth. Art has always played an important role in social and political commentary, and the students featured in Fake News have shown they have the talent to communicate their feelings about this important subject in a powerful and effective way”.
More than 250 students from 58 colleges submitted their artwork for the exhibition, which runs from 1st to 22 July. All pictures can be viewed at the SFCA gallery website here.
The SFCA will be promoting the exhibition online using the hashtag #6thFormArt2021
