Form 6 and 7, Art and Critical and Contextual Studies students, had an insightful talk from artist Fiona Grady.
Fiona creates colourful and dynamic geometric artworks including architectural interventions that transform their setting. She utilises light, colour, shape, surface and scale to intervene in environments, drawing our attention to the passing of time and helping us to reconsider these spaces.
Fiona spoke to the students about her art practice, influences and research methods, sharing projects to explain the process of being commissioned for professional development. In addition, she discussed curatorial processes in relation to her own work. Fiona also shared with the students some of the materials she uses to make her work. She set the students a brief to consider how to respond to a commission.
It was a really inspiring talk that gave the students an insight into the working life of an artist.
