Also on Tuesday, the SSLP was hosted by JAGS for the Write on Art workshop. Six schools were present to hear from the Paul Mellon Centre and the Dulwich Picture Gallery, and then to participate in a workshop to encourage participation in the Write on Art competition hosted by ArtUK.
This beautiful picture was taken by Florence, a student at James Allen’s Girls’ School, in response to the theme Natural Worlds. Guest judge, Alice Cazenave has named it as the winning student image in last month’s SSLP Photography competition.
