Art students at Luckley-Oakfield School have produced outstanding artwork against the clock for their GCSE and A-level art examinations.
Students from the Luckley Road, Wokingham, school have delivered an extremely high standard for the examinations using a variety of mediums.
Work has ranged from traditional oil paintings to relief pieces made using mixed-media and a sculpture made from 'found objects'. Ideas are developed though a sketchbook and intensive study of relevant artists greatly enhance the girls' work, with each piece placed within an art historical context.
GCSE pupils had 10 hours spread over two days to complete their work on the theme of 'Barriers'. AS students had eight hours spread over two days – their theme was 'Links and Connections'.
The most experienced students, taking A2, had 12 hours over three days and their theme was 'Transition'.
Among this year's students was Elise Di Michiels, 16, who was thrilled to be short-listed from 760 submissions for the Royal Academy of Arts A-level Summer Exhibition Online.
The exhibition includes artwork submitted by A-level students from 30 secondary schools in the Greater London area.
