Havant and South Downs College students take art exhibition online

The A-level fine art students’ creations went on display on Friday (August 14) with virtual visitors to the exhibition asked to vote on their favourite pieces of art.

Isabelle Knight, who is planning on studying visual effects for film and TV at the University of Bournemouth, said: ‘College was cut short because of Coronavirus and lockdown.

‘The end was very abrupt and we didn't get to finish as we usually would with exams and celebrations.

‘I like the idea of an online exhibition because it allows a slight bit of normality and is the best thing next to a physical exhibition, due to the current situation.’

Course manager, Mark Kellett added: ‘Normally we have a large-scale exhibition at our Havant Campus in the foyer area and through into the art studios.

‘Although the students sadly never got to produce the final outcomes for their final project, they all produced some exceptional results for the coursework project. I really wanted to show off the talent of the individuals we have on this course.’

Exhibits can be viewed via the Artsmouth website.
