Nine pupils from the Girls' Division of Bolton School are to
have their artistic masterpieces published in the first School
Artists' Express Yourself Portfolio 2009. The girls' entries, which
came from pupils aged 11-18, were chosen from more than 6,000
applications.
A series of portfolios will be produced which showcase pupils'
creative talent. The A4 books will be beautifully produced, with
full colour artwork accompanied by a biography about the artist on
each page, including what the inspiration was behind each artist's
work.
Rosie Brown, a Year 12 student, said that the inspiration behind
her piece of art - Words Can't Bring Me Down - was herself: "My
work is all about expressing yourself through Art - it is about
doing something positive when you are feeling down instead of doing
something negative."
Other pieces that will be published are Shadee Shahabi's work
entitled Four Emotions; Amy Devine's Anger; Azra Makkan's work
called Lonely; Reena Ardeshana's Contemplation; Reflection by
Olivia Brown; Gemma Fairclough's work called Yesterday; and Kelsey
Oldbury's Resignation. Piu San Hu, who is no longer at Bolton
School, submitted a piece called Elation.
Each pupil that entered the competition received a Staedtler
pencil. The School judged to have sent the best selection of
artwork will receive the £1,000 first prize and creative art packs
will be awarded for some of the best individual work. The School
Artists' Portfolio 2009 will be published on 31 May 2009.
