Lucy is top of the tree

Abbey Gate College’s Head Girl, Lucy Kennedy has been awarded 1st place in the Independents Schools Association Art Competition (Northern Region) for a charcoal portrait drawing of her friend and classmate.

The piece entitled ‘Ellie’ impressed the judges because of its bold scale and expressive use of drawing techniques.  Lucy is already an accomplished artist achieving an A* at GCSE level and an A at AS level.  This is not the first time that Lucy has enjoyed success in the ISA competition since she has been placed in previous years in a variety of categories.  Lucy’s drawing will now be entered into the ISA National competition where she will be judged along with other entrants from the remaining 7 regions of the country.
