Prestigious Art Placement for LWA Student
Deanna Carey, Year 10, has been successful in securing a place in the prestigious National Art and Design Saturday Club. Deanna was one of only 25 young people chosen from almost a hundred hopeful applicants in the city of Leeds.
Deanna will learn new skills in printmaking, surface pattern and ceramics. The exciting nine-month programme includes a visit to London in November 2009; visits from professional artists and designers; and an opportunity to take part in and attend an exhibition of students’ work from NADSC groups across the country in June 2010.
Deanna took part in her first Club session held at Leeds College of Art on Saturday October 3rd and says of the experience, ‘I was really excited - I found it really easy to make new friends. I used materials I hadn’t used before which was hard but I enjoyed the challenge of drawing each other in 3 minutes with different media. The teachers were really nice too.’
Deanna is a very committed student studying for the First Diploma in Art and Design at LWA. She is aiming for a distinction in year 11 which equates to four grade A GCSEs. We are very proud of Deanna and her positive contribution to art in lessons and as part of the wider Academy and National communities.
