Our Future Leaders – Making a Stand for Change

Our Future Leaders – Making a Stand for Change Earlier this year, our very talented Year 9 Art & Design students had the opportunity to explore a range of art media techniques and processes whilst investigating the work of the American political street artist, Shepard Fairy. Earlier this year, our very talented Year 9 Art & Design students had the opportunity to explore a range of art media techniques and processes whilst investigating the work of the American political street artist, Shepard Fairy. 

Students had a design brief to create a portrait of themselves as ‘future leaders’ making a stand to represent a cause they feel passionate about, or to make a portrait of someone they admire for similar reasons. Many of our students found UNICEF Global Goals as a good source of inspiration for addressing inequality around the world.

As in Fairey’s ‘Hope’ Artwork created for the Obama campaign, there is a lot of promise in this inspiring group of skillful young leaders!
