It has been an absolute pleasure to open the doors of our classrooms to families and exhibit the creative works that have been made over this year at ISM Upper Campus. Artworks included work produced as part of the STEAM programme, with Cyanotypes (shadow-like prints made with light sensitive chemicals pasted on paper), plans for housing inspired by insect colonies and observational natural history sketches, whilst Key Stage Three works included 3D and themed works exploring ‘darkness’ and ‘nature’.
iGCSE Art and Design students exhibited works produced in their final year, with casts of skulls, water-colour and digital paintings presented. Seohyeon Park (Year 11 iGCSE Fine Art), speaks about her painting: “In Books, every character has an ending, and their fate is chosen by a writer. I depict images of the tiger and Hanbok (traditional Korean dress) that connect to my home country, Korea, to show scenes from a narrative. I aim to present an escape from restrictions that keeps you away from your dream, as an escape from a book”
Sargon-Luka (A Level fine Art) presented a table covered in painted cloth with arrangements of his works exploring his Georgian heritage. Observational drawings, paintings of architecture, abstract works and video projection contributed to a joyful, sprawling celebration.
AS and A Level Media Studies students also exhibited their films and print works as part of the show. Teacher of Art, Ms Rissik says, “Exhibitions are an important part of professional artists' lives. The work is transformed by the space it is viewed in. By displaying one's work so openly and vulnerably, it allows the viewer a small glimpse into the very personal mind of the creative. The Art Cafe was a great experience for the iGCSE and A Level art and design students to get a taste of this and a sense of what it means to showcase their work and see it in a whole new light.”
Many thanks to all of the musicians who performed as part of the Art Café event. You helped make our evening very memorable.

A child’s youngest years are a jubilant journey of discovery, exploration and growth. The impact of the caring attention we provide during these youngest years will echo through the rest of their lives.
Did you know… a child’s brain is already 90-95% of its adult size before entering Primary school. They will develop a great deal yet, but the foundational structure has been set.
We were thrilled to hear from Elbina, one of our graduating Class of 2018, who was visiting Russia to spend time with her family over the New Year holiday.
Elbina, who graduated from ISM almost six years ago, has completed her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Biology at the University of St Andrews, and is now midway through her PhD study in the field of medicine.
Elbina enthusiastically agreed to visit her old school to speak with our Sixth Form students, and share her expertise about what to expect from university life, how to get the best results in your degree, and those important next steps after graduation.
