Art students in Year 10 are studying the theme of Natural and Man-made this half term. Recently they visited the Bangkok Art and Cultural Centre and Jim Thompson’s House to support their contextual and observational studies, and to help them develop their competition entries for the PMAC World Art Contest: Everyone Matters.
At the exhibition Traces and Traits by Pratuang Emjaroen students took inspiration for their own practice from their experience of the artwork. Emjaroen is a nationally acclaimed Thai artist who embraces his life and family narrative whilst reflecting on changes in Thai society, economics and politics.
Later at Jim Thompson's House students immersed themselves in the grounds, a fantastic example of nature harmonising with architecture. Students sketched and took photographs as visual research for their artistic studies. An beautiful start to the year for the Art department.
Students at St Andrews International School Bangkok have begun an exciting artificial intelligence project: integrating Nord Anglia’s “Misty the Robot” with conversational AI model, ChatGPT. Under the guidance of our Head of Robotics, Mr Rob Parker, they recently presented their results to Regional Managing Director, Mr Shaun Williams, as well as the Board of Directors at St Andrews, with the proposition of growing this project as a collaborative research venture across Nord Anglia schools.
