C 12 Pop Up Exhibition (Open Area) – Wednesday the 25th of April

Advanced Higher Art & Design and Higher Photography

We are having a pop up Art and Design exhibition on Wednesday the 25th of April from 5 pm to 7.30pm.

This exhibition is to display the amazingly talented group of  Advanced Higher Art & Design students we have this year. Many of them have got into the major art schools, fashion degrees courses and Glasgow School of Architecture. We are also going to exhibit 264 photographs from the Higher photography sections.

We would love to see you and if you want to pop into the open area of Mearns Castle High School on the way home.

Invite your colleagues or any inspiring young talent.   Help us celebrate and share creativity at its best!

Art & Design Trip to Millport

The Art Department organised a weekend long trip to Millport for S5 and S6 pupils.  Whilst there, pupils had the opportunity to work in a studio environment and were able to explore a variety of printing techniques.  The weekend was a huge success.  Well done to all pupils involved.

 

Creative Star Exhibition

In November, the Design Faculty held their annual Creative Star Exhibition, featuring pupil work from S1 – S6. Pupils received awards for outstanding quality of work as well as excellent exam results. The night was a huge success. The Design Faculty would like to take this opportunity to thank parents and pupils for continuing to support both the Technical and Art Departments.
