Nailsea students achieved many successes at this year's North Somerset Art Exhibition, featuring the best art work from all North Somerset schools. Both the Art staff and exhibiting students attended a private view on Friday 28th November, during which we collected two awards, out of a possible three, for the best work on show. 
Amy Terrell won the 2D Art cup for her powerful panorama of a London scene. Her experimental use of inks together with expressive communication of the manic nature of a metropolis impressed the judges.
Harriet Farren won the 3D Art cup for her wonderful rendering of a musical instrument. The sculpture comments on the changing face of musical expression, from traditional wooden forms to contemporary digital and electric devises. Congratulations to all the exhibiting students, and a special "woo hoo!" to Amy and Harriet for their prize-winning.
The exhibition is on at the North Somerset Museum until the 10th of January, and is well worth a visit.
