Woodroffe School Exhibition

There's one good thing about living in an 'arty' town, there are always lots of exhibitions and shows going on.  The latest one is a show from the local comprehensive school, Woodroffe with an excellent rating from Ofsted, who have put on a display of work from their Years 9, 10 and 11.

I went to view the art and exhibits and was truly amazed, as I usually am, with the bredth and depth of work from students of this age group.  Their ideas and imagination seem to explode in all directions and they create the most exciting work.  I would like to photograph of some of it to display here, it's not only photographs, drawings and paintings but sculptures and mobiles, but not sure it would be allowed.  The show is on for another week and I want to go back this coming weekend to view again such interesting work.

A snapshot view of some of the work
28.1.2012: I went back to this exhibition this afternoon and was struck again at how teenage students can be so uninhibited with their imagination and use of colour.  This is an excellent choice of work and should be visited again to gain a greater insight into the students' work. Well done the students of the Woodroffe School!
