TALENTED artists and designers at Solihull Sixth Form College were celebrated for their achievements at the Visual Arts Exhibition.
Every student on the BTEC Extended Diploma in Art and Design Practice and A level Art and Design courses exhibited a selection of work.
The pieces on show covered a huge range of disciplines and specialisms from Fine Art painting to Textile Design, from Photography to Architecture and from Graphic Design to Installation.
The work also explored a wide variety of subject matter and themes.
The Visual Arts department handed out awards to learners at a private view, with prizes given for all four Visual Arts courses.
A level Graphics and 3D Design students were recognised for being selected for the Sixth Form College Association Graphics Exhibition this year, learners on the A level Fine Art course were rewarded because they had been selected to feature in the Royal Academy Youth Summer Show.
The Year 12 Photography Live Brief prize winners were recognised as their work was selected for the Sixth Form College Association Photography Exhibition. Meanwhile, one of the Visual Arts Academy enrichment students was also recognised for their hard work, engagement and dedication to their Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).
Year 13 students were also rewarded for their independent learning and a Star of the department was named to reward the learner who has stood out most this year for their hard work and commitment. Alice won the award for her work helping at open events, attending trips, visits and talks and helping her peers.
Students were rewarded with vouchers which were donated by Photo Zone. Other young people will be recognised at the College Awards Evening later this month.
Creative Arts curriculum leader Zoe Maksymiw said: “Hanging the annual Visual Arts Exhibition is the highlight of the year.
“We are so proud of the entire Creative Arts department for their commitment and dedication.
“The standard of the work on display continues to be impactful and highly professional.
“It was wonderful to see so many family members attend the Private View to support our young people and to see the outcome of all of their hard work.”
The artwork will be available to view until June 17.
