Lower secondary virtual exhibition: the King’s InterHigh Art Show 2022
From June 27th to July 3rd, we at King’s InterHigh are celebrating our 2022 Summer Arts Festival — an exciting time for families and teachers to come together and highlight the incredible skill, talent, and creativity of our students all around the world.
Part of this festival is our Art Show 2022 virtual exhibition, where we’re showcasing the amazing fine, modern, and digital art pieces our learners have created over the past year. Want to see some of the highlights? Keep scrolling!
Let’s take a look at some exemplary work from our Key Stage 3 Lower Secondary learners aged 11 to 14.
In Year 7 Creative Media this year, students have been studying graphic design and advertising. For the project component of their studies, our learners produced posters, jingles, and television ads designed to encourage young people to spend more time outside. To create this media pieces, they learned all about how to use colour psychology, typography, and visual language when communicating with their audience.

Raheen’s commentary: “My main concept was to make a powerful and bold message addressing climate change over-lapping the short but compelling lettering in the form of graffiti art. I chose the butterfly to represent the earth because it is delicate and beautiful. I researched and the earth melting was pretty common, so I chose to do a different approach to that topic. When I chose that I also thought of putting the cool colours in the wings, cracking to show the butterfly / the Earth is breaking. I think it will appeal to audiences of any age because climate change is a problem for everyone, and it affects everyone. Maybe because of my use of contrasting colours it will attract younger audiences also because ‘We’re Running Out of Time’ is very thought-provoking and climate change will be worse for future generations.“

Key Stage 3 Art
Our Key Stage 3 Art students were introduced to portraiture through art historical context this year. They studied a variety of art styles and artists, including pointillism (Georges Seurat), post-impressionism (Vincent Van Gogh), fauvism (Henri Matisse) and pop art (Andy Warhol). After examining the painting styles nad techniques used, our students set out to emulate by producing their portraits using the grid technique.
Student showcase:Naila Rajput
Naila’s commentary: “I think people who are knowledgeable in the history of art. Without that knowledge of what these styles are I don think may people would understand what I was trying to do or be able to appreciate the effort.“
