by artists of HMP Greenock
On display 2 November 2024 - 31 January 2025
This exhibition is a culmination of almost a years work by Fife College Art classes, and showcases the outcomes of self-generated learning, co-creation, and learner-led practice. In class, the students have been developing their critical thinking and ability to communicate their ideas through visual language. Through experimenting with drawing and painting techniques, they have improved their dexterity and practical skills, at the same time widening their perspective and ideas through collaboration and conversation. The exhibit showcases 80 acrylic paintings, and 20 drawings of mixed media. Over 30 artists have contributed their work.
The work has been created independently of the Koestler awards.
