Each room had an atmosphere of its own, and
success shone throughout. The first piece of
work that visitors came face to face with was
a huge lion sculpture, by Jago Hartland. It gave
a real presence in the room and has definitely
inspired a lot of young creative students. The
art block displayed an amazing collection of
large and smaller paintings in oils and acryllics;
and theY12 sculptures ranged from an
exquisite swan to a spider dangling from its
web constructed out of industrial materials.
The Y13 exam work was varied and eyecatching
showing just how talented Farmor’s
students are!
The Textiles exhibition was also very impressive
with its range of Y12 Alexander McQueen
work. There were some wonderful contrasting
suit jackets, some with horns and some with
delicate lace. All of the Y13 exam pieces were
very exciting and unexpected too, especially
Georgia Hooker’s fabulous sheep wool dress
that was influenced by re-using old things.
Product Design and Graphics showed some
great examples of the high quality standard of
work Farmor’s students aim for. Photography
showcased an interesting and varied exhibition
with a large range of ideas, including Katie
Cannons ‘miniature photography’ which caught
everyone’s eye.
All of the work together gave a fantastic insight
into the creative students’ lives at Farmor’s and
has once again without a doubt made everyone
proud, both students and teachers.
