Introducing Ribblesdale School, this curated selection of pupils' work created by 11–16-year-olds demonstrates creativity, exploration of ideas and recording of experiences. Pupils are encouraged to experiment, invent and create their own work. As art teacher Nikki Ainscow explains:
'As a school, we cultivate an environment that values the impact of art and design on history, and its vital role in shaping global culture and creativity. The work on display demonstrates all aspects of art, craft and design, including print making, watercolours, oil pastel, coloured pencil, mixed media and embroidery. At KS3, artists that have provided inspiration include Keith Haring, Hundertwasser, Picasso, Matt Kaufenberg, and Andy Warhol. At KS4, pupils are encouraged to follow their own lines of enquiry and starting points include places and spaces, the human figure, celebration and botanicals, to name a few. Photography is a process that is becoming increasingly important in pupils' creative journeys and allows a more personal response.'
Visit the Upper Steward's Gallery throughout the day to enjoy the exhibition. Meet pupils and teachers who will be on hand to chat about their work. Entry to the gallery is free.
Clitheroe Castle Museum is managed by Lancashire County Council's Museum Service on behalf of Ribble Valley Borough Council.
