BP Portrait Award

Distracted by Wim Heldens © Wim Heldens

Our year 12 students recently visited "The BP Portrait Award" at Wolverhampton Art Gallery in preparation for their own portraiture exhibition to be held in the new year. All students were amazed at the quality of the portraits on exhibition and commented on the number of different techniques and styles on show. It too was obvious from the exhibition that as well as the head and shoulders, students should take into account the body as a whole, setting and props when producing a portrait of real meaning.
