In a process of enhancing
the aesthetic environment the Art Department has been
posting beautiful artworks by the students around the
school. Below is a wonderful computer work by James
Gaydon.
This work can be located
below the Art room on the steps to the Maths and Science

SAINTS TRINITY: THE DUKES
Medium: Cement (1m high)
A project, by the Art Department,
is the creation and installation of three figures in the
main quad area of the Boys' College. Currently the
figures are nearing completion and we hope for the
installation by the Second Term.
The artwork was commissioned by
Dave Knowles as part of a monument that would celebrate
a sense of spirituality, community and self pride.
The artwork has been modelled
directly in cement and depicts three students who appear
in the guise of Dukes singing up to heaven.
The Art Master, Michael Matthews,
states of this work: "The three figures are involved in
a common activity that represents a sense of 'umbuntu' -
the three figures are in the act of singing and
praising. I have distorted the figures to emphasis their
spirituality, purposely bending the figures necks until
their faces are parallel to the ground. The central
figure wears a traditional 'basher' that functions
visually as a halo".
