Working with a combination of materials Jared is able to expose different qualities and textures with his delicate skills. The contrast of soft fur to hard, snarling wet teeth in this piece is instant.

Hugo has made a confident start to a very mature project theme for his A Level Art studies. Hugo is basing his work on his father's memories and experience of finding escapism through superhero comics as a boy growing up in Poland. Hugo hopes to use his father's stories to translate into his own graphic art pieces.

Georgina continues to develop her project based on religion. Her work explores the strength of faith within the religious and celebrity culture. Georgina has completed a portrait working in water colours, pencil and colouring pencil. Georgina has a very delicate touch when applying shading and works with a gradual process of building up layers of tone. In approaching her work in this way she is able to retain excellent accuracy and precision.
