Art has pride of place

Sacred Heart Catholic College art students have been busy this year preparing work for GCSE and exhibitions.

Among them is Ivana Mendoza-Trejo, who is pictured with her painting that depicts a fishing boat moored in still water with a cloudless blue sky above.

Art teacher, Mr Daley, was impressed with the piece, saying: “The painting projects a mood of tranquility and rest. The composition is simple, the main components being the boat with its fishing net, the sky and the water. “

The painting, which has been given pride of place in the corridor leading up to St Edward Hall, was painted by Ivana as the final element of one of her two-coursework projects for GCSE.

Last year, Ivana completed a very successful Year 11 and is now enjoying the opportunities offered by the AS course in Fine Art.
