We really enjoyed the Workshop by artist Mark and education department’s Bronwyn from the Wallace Collection. This event was part of the creative festival and offered to students in Y8 and Y7. The students very much enjoyed the experience. Thank you to the Wallace collection.

Well done to Stephanie, Farah and Glenys for your successes in the Royal Academy Young Artists’ Summer Show, with Farah and Stephanie in the Gallery itself, and Glenys in the online show. It was a real achievement, there were 33000 entries… We are very proud.

Our Y12 made fantastic prints for the local Oxfam to highlight the wonders of books and reading. What an imaginative display, very beautiful.

We are ending on week one of our Creative Festival ’21 at St Marylebone, and hope that everyone has enjoyed the events so far… Next week is a busy one, filled with exciting enrichment opportunities…

The last two weeks of term are a celebration of all things creative in all subjects, have a look at the exciting programme of events…

Congratulations to Temi and Tom for graduating from the Royal Drawing School’s Foundation Year, 2021. Both students studied Art A Level with us during 2018-2020, and their ambitious final foundation works were given the premier spot at the Drawing School’s recent end of year show. We are incredibly proud of both students, with Temi winning the Drawing School’s overall ‘Drawing Award’ and Tom winning the ‘Painting Award.’ In addition to receiving these prestigious awards, they were the only two students from the entire Drawing School Foundation Year to gain places at Oxford, to study Art at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art. We believe that this is the first instance in the history of the Ruskin that two students from the same state school sixth form will be studying in the same year.

Year 9 are preparing working for the PA festival based on artist Keith Haring. A sneak preview of some of the work…

We are delighted to announce that the work of three Marylebone sixth form students has been selected for the 2021 RA Young Artists’ Summer Show.

Taking inspiration from the annual Summer Exhibition, the Young Artists’ Summer Show is an opportunity for young artists aged 5 – 19 years to exhibit their work online and on-site at the Royal Academy.  This year’s judges included Phyllida Barlow RA and Brian Griffiths.  Two of the students’ works will also be displayed in the RA gallery itself – which is an incredible achievement. Well done to all our students who entered artworks for this prestigious competition.

The online and onsite exhibitions open on 13 July 2021.
