ART-iculate 2016 winners St Mark’s Primary School, Barrhead, Katie and Sydney, Alan Horn, Financial Director Glasgow School of Art and Ron Cowie Education Scotland.
ART-iculate 2016 had a photography focus. This was a fantastic opportunity for P6 and P7 children to immerse themselves in critical analysis of some of the world’s most iconic photographs.
This year’s choice to read photography tied in with the theme of St Mark’s Art Show, which was contemporary photography. This was led and delivered by the pupils of the photography club. A challenging project!
P6 and P7 were given an opportunity to choose and research a photograph from a portfolio of images ranging from 1932 surrealists, graphic designers to photo journalists of 1980’s.
Pupils then took part in an upper school ART-iculate competition. The finalists were judged by Matilda Williams, ARTiculation Scotland’s 2016 winner; Ron Cowie, Senior Education Officer Education Scotland; Alan Horn, Director of Development Glasgow School of Art. The pupils were outstanding and received a lot of acclaim from distinguished guests. Katie and Sydney were the two winners.
ART-iculate 2015
The St Mark’s Art Show took place on Thursday the 21st May. This year the pupils had a slightly different agenda, the primary 6/7 pupils took part in Art-iculate, this was an opportunity for solo talks based on paintings by The Glasgow Boys and Girls. All four classes were immersed in the works of the Glasgow Boys and Girls, they began this Literacy and Art Adventure at the Kelvingrove Art Galleries where they attended workshops tailored to this topic. The finalists were judged by Ron Cowie Senior Education Officer at Education Scotland, Alan Horn Director of Development Glasgow School of Art and Muriel Gray Chair of the Glasgow School of Art Board of Governors. No pressured there! The pupils were outstanding and received a lot of acclaim from distinguished guests. Sophie and Emily were the two overall champions. All the finalists have been invited to spend a morning at the Glasgow School of Art before the end of term. What an achievement.
