This week, a group of our Advanced Higher Art students worked with local artist Lisa MacDonald. The project focussed on combining ‘Art with positive mental wellbeing’, with the pupils being asked to name their pieces and give their reason ‘for Hope for the Future’.

It was great project for the pupils to learn techniques from a local artist, and also to work at a pace and scale that many haven’t worked at previously. The pieces were created (in no particular order in the video below) by the following pupils (and also feature a stunning piece by Nicola our DYW Coordinator): Saffiya Amin, Lucy Harper, Miriam Hulse, Mia Gunn, Maddison Macleod, Cieran Kelly and Sophie Sutherland.
