As part of its response to the Covid Lockdown, the Wellington Art Department has set up a House Art challenge. Under the title, Art is not on Lockdown, the whole community – pupils, parents, staff – has been set the task of creating drawings, sculptures or digital pieces.
‘Give me but one firm spot on which to stand, and I will move the earth.’ Archimedes
Henri Matisse painted from his bed and Yves Saint Laurent famously created his overnight timeless sensations from periods of complete isolation.
Head of Art, Alice Carpenter, wishes to encourage all our community to create from their homes this term and participate in our House Art challenge.
The challenge is to create a drawing, sculpture or digital piece. It requires you to use design and artistic skills, referencing or adapting an existing object to explore how through a process of repurposing you can encourage alternative views on the world.
To submit and share your imaginative work, upload photographs of your finished outcome to Instagram #wellyartschool
Deadline – 19th June
Open to the whole College/Pupils/Staff/Wellington parents.
As Josef Albers said, ‘We cannot afford to waste time and material. We must make the best we can out of what little we have.’
