What happens to all of those
St George's IB artists
after they leave F floor?

Of course many go on to Foundation courses as well as degrees in Fine Art, Vehicle Design, Toy Design, Textiles, Fashion Design, Illustration, Film, Photography, Video, Book Design, Architecture, Theatre and TV Design, Interior Design - to name but a few...

But then what?

Some become painters, fashion stylists, photographers, designers, sculptors, or may even use their artistic talents to help others. Here are a few examples from recent years:

Was the man himself the real artwork ?

I have been looking at free, web-based alternatives to
Photoshop.

Aviary is a collection of programmes that
allow you to explore image and sound editing.

The kaleidoscope image above was created in my
first couple of minutes playing around with
Peacock. It's very different to most image manipulation
software so do watch the demo video first.

Phoenix on the other hand is a much more straight forward
Photoshop clone that features layers.
