This week we are delighted to cast our art spotlight on the creative work of one of our Year 7 students. Kiara, in 7a, has a passion for making art and has already produced a fantastic portfolio of work. We asked her about her work in Art lessons and this is what she told us.
Art gives me the opportunity to experiment with colour, light, shape and size. Where I can truly focus and let my imagination flow through my hand which is expressed in the colours I use on the canvas. In Art, one can choose from a wide range of mediums and colours to convey a certain scene or emotion.
I enjoy drawing and painting portraits of either humans or animals as you can see in my artwork. This is because I like observing facial features and characteristics of each individual person.
I think that Art is present everywhere, whether it be making posters or drawing diagrams in everyday life. Therefore I am certain that I will use Art in the future.
I think that the artwork “Lost in Thought” (below) has been one of my most successful so far, as the colours I have used are bright and vibrant, compensating for the overall sadness of the subject, and making the painting overall look surreal. I like the use of highlights and light reflections on the face, as they bring out the face in a realistic manner.
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!
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.
