We are looking forward to the next pupil exhibition at Brighton College Abu Dhabi!

Pupils in the Prep & Senior school spent last Thursday & Sunday learning about 'Well Being'. They completed workshops in Art, Drama, Music and PE; their achievements are now on display in The Gallery until the end of term, alongside the ‘Objects of the Emirates’ exhibition.

All pupils are encouraged to submit Art work for the ‘Objects of the emirates’ exhibition. Get creative and drop by the Art department for advice. They can be painted, drawn, sculptural, photographic, collaged or made with mixed media. The theme is OBJECTS of the Emirates so think coffee pots, traditional jewellery, incense burners, Emirati clothing, henna packets, majlis cushions, falconry accessories. We can’t wait to see your ideas! Prize winners will be announced in November.

In November we will be launching the next pupil exhibition 'Objects of the Emirates'. All pupils in the college are encouraged to submit Art work, there will be prizes too!

Here are some Year 10 drawings in the lead up to the 'Objects of the Emirates' exhibition in November. Spot the camel bones, traditional coffee pot and frankincense box.

All pupils are encouraged to get involved in this upcoming exhibition & competition.

Here are some examples of objects from the Emirates to get you started:

All the illustrations above are from an exhibition currently on display in Dubai at DIFC, by Brownbook & Deutsche Bank.

Year 2 pupils from Pre Prep had a go at doing some light drawing last week in the style of Pablo Picasso. They even took the photographs themselves! Well done to Isabelle, Elspeth and Madeleine for their fantastic work.
