Penryn grade 12 students show off their art
Art in different shapes and sizes could be seen at the Penryn art exhibition in Riverside Mall.
The grade 12 art students of 2019 proved to be advanced in the subject. Their whole year’s work is on display.
Colourful and vibrant portfolios, three-dimensional art and portraits fill up the room. Everywhere you look something grabs your attention.

Each art piece shows a part of the artist, either in a portrait of themselves, a personality trait or a relative who means something to them.
Kaitlyn Steyn sketched three portraits, one of her mother, her grandmother and herself for the “heritage” theme their art teacher, Michelle Booysen, had given them.
Taylor Dedekind created a striking range of pieces for the “liminal” theme. “Teacher Michelle asked us what liminal means to us,” said Taylor.
“Liminal sounds like ‘dreams’ to me, so I sketched animals on children storybook pages, as if a young child would dream about it.” Taylor said that she prefers to draw, but also likes other art forms as well.
Josh Klukow’s dramatic piece of a metal man welded together also stands out. “He created these pieces in the art class,” said Booysen.
“These students love art class and do not mind spending hours creating and expressing themselves through art,” she added.

The art exhibition will remain open until October 23 when the examiner will come to mark the pieces at the gallery.
