Each student had the chance to sell Artwork during the night. There was also a great buffet of finger food.

Wow !!
I hope you can have this playing on a loop on the night so that as people wander through the completed work they can see the procees going on around them.
There is so much creative work going on here in so many different mediums; clay, paints,animation, textiles all that before we get to the use of videos and ipads. Amazing, Good luck with it. I'll try my best to come but can't promise.

I really enjoyed watching this showcase and remembering all the fantastic things that are achieved by staff and students working together at Oak Lodge. Have a wonderful evening, and if the promo video is anything to go by, people will be blown away by the talents!
Roger Legate - Acting Principal
We are going to have an Art wall at Linden Lodge. I am buying work today to display there. The work is stunning and is testimony to the students' talents and tremendous hard work. The exhibition for me is better than last year and has demonstrated creativity , teamwork, and collective enterprise.

Thursday night was amazing! It was wonderful to see such a fabulous display of our pupils' work all in one place and to have the opportunity to share it with others . The pupils' looked so proud and rightly so!
Thank you for all your efforts in making this a huge success.
Tobi (Year 11)
Wow! The exhibition was fantastic.
I didn’t think anyone would like my work. But a lot of people were interested in it. I sold some work! I am a lot more confident about it. I am so proud.
Tommy (Year 11)
I was nervous, a lot of people came, I tried to interest people in my work and persuade them to buy my caricatures. I sold one caricature to Mr Legate. I was so relieved! My family thought all the money went to Oak Lodge, but I told them it goes to me, they thought I should give Oak Lodge 50%, but I explained I have to pay 20% commission.
I am happy with myself.
Harrison (Year 11)
Last night was fantastic! A lot of people said I was talented and they asked me how I designed my t-shirts. I sold a lot of my work. My mum cried a little bit when she came to the exhibition, she had never seen my artwork before, she was so proud of me. She hugged me, I was very happy.
Nina (year 9)
On Thursday night I came to the exhibition help because I stay in the residential. I really liked Shyann's framed work and Annela's sketchbook. Some people bought work and everyone looked really happy. I saw lots of project videos from year 7 to 11. I thought they were fantastic! The best project was my group..9C.. We made signed poetry after visiting "ColourScape".
Thomas (year 9)
I really liked all of it! Different people, different colours. Portraits.... Photographs... all very interesting... good ideas!
Lesley Davidson
The art here really is amazing... Every year it's fantastic! Its always engaging and impressive. Today I have seen so much colour and such a variety of ideas....The creativity is excellent!
Julia Rowntree (Arts Coordinator)
It was great to visit Oak Lodge and to see the spectacular exhibition last week. The scale and range of work is truly outstanding and communicates individual student's expressivity very powerfully. If a national arts department award was in my gift, I'd give it to Oak Lodge. The work you and Tara do is exceptional.
