Year 10 artists at St Andrews International School Bangkok have been going back to basics and working on their tonal drawing skills.
It is usual practise for artists in Year 10 to return to foundation drawing skills. Over recent lessons students have been investigating the formal element of tone, creating beautiful drawings that demonstrate how effective using a range of light and dark pencil shades can be. In their drawings GCSE artists have chosen a variety of subjects and have recorded detail and tone with great accuracy. We have been highly impressed with the high standard of work that our young artists have produced. The work included here reflects a great commitment to the development of manual skills, as well as an understanding of how the formal elements, such as tone or texture, can communicate mood and meaning. The skills they have developed will be very useful for their upcoming trip to Jim Thompson’s House and the Bangkok Art and Culture Center on the 4 October. Artwork by Asuka, Candy, Hitanshi, Pearly and Zoe.
This week our ‘Artist of the Week’ award goes to Prae Waravenuch in 10G. Prae’s drawing of the Coliseum is accurately represented using a range of tonal values, but also uses mark-making techniques to heighten the mood and atmosphere of the subject matter. A very creative approach, well done!
With the goal of providing meaningful help to the flood victims in the northern regions of Thailand, our entire community at St Andrews Bangkok came together to raise funds and donations for the affected families. In the span of a few short weeks, added to donations of food and clothing, we managed to raise an astounding total of 386,676.50 THB in donation funds. To all students, teachers, parents, and staff who participated in our efforts and contributed to this cause—thank you!
Last Friday, the STA Primary campus was transformed into a celebration of all things maths! The day was packed with engaging, hands-on activities across all year groups, making maths truly come alive for our students.
Senior student at St Andrews Bangkok, Pun (Year 13), devises an innovative solution for effective waste management. Recently, he completed an ambitious project: an AI-powered waste sorting system. After much research and testing, he got the system to work and put the model to use in one of our rooms at school!
Physics students from St Andrews Bangkok made quite an impression at the Beamline for Schools (BL4S) competition and won the Best Outreach Award for their brilliant work. BL4S is a prestigious global physics contest organised by CERN (the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva, Switzerland) and DESY (the German Electron Synchrotron in Hamburg, Germany), inviting High School students worldwide to propose detailed experiments to be conducted at a particle accelerator beamline. While our students did not win the main prize of conducting their experiment in Geneva, they still stood out and were recognised from an entry of over 400 teams.
