ARTiculation Regional Finals

Congratulations to 6th form student, Francesca, who came second place in the ARTiculation regional final held at The New Arts Centre Roche Court, Salisbury.

Her talk explored the works of David Wiess and Peter Fischli, and the themes and conversations that can be found in their installation pieces. 

Francesca and fellow students were then invited to The National Gallery in London to see the Grand Final of the ARTiculation competition. In their visit they also enjoyed a guided tour through the galleries and detailed studies of many of the paintings. The afternoon was dedicated to the 11 finalists selected from the 120 plus schools that had participated in the competition from across the country. The competition was adjudicated by Neil MacGregor, Art Historian and former Director of The National gallery. 

 The students enjoyed their visit to The National Gallery, and it was a great opportunity to listen to ideas across a variety of subjects.
