Brimsham Green School and Chipping Sodbury School are proud to present an exhibition of work by their Fine Art A’ Level Students.
This is the fourth year that Yate Heritage Centre has offered the space to exhibit the work of our Linked Sixth Form and we are delighted to have this opportunity once again.
Exhibiting art work in public is an important skill and for many of these young artists this is a new experience.
Work is of a highly personal nature; however, it has been based on the following themes – ‘Contrast and Camouflage’ and ‘Reflections, Distortions and Changes’.
