For the third consecutive year, Harbour House hands over its gallery to the Art Department of Kingsbridge Community College, giving the Art and Photography students of Year 12 and 13 the opportunity to show what's involved in studying at AS Level.

The exhibition, titled Architecture and the Human Form, opens at the Kingsbridge gallery from Tuesday 4 until Saturday 8 March.

Each year a new group of students, aged between 16 and 18, puts on a vibrant display of drawing, painting, photography and mixed media scultpure.

Working to a strict AS-level syllabus, the discipline for the young artists is rigorous, but the opportunity to express their creativity is unparalleled.

Professional photographer Eliot Siegel has been drafted in to work with the students once again, sharing his experience and expertise in the world of portrait and fashion photography.

The students turned the school hall into a temporary photography studio, and over the course of a day manipulated lighting, backdrops, and models to produce a series of dramatic digital portraits.

Other themes explored by the photography students include Evidence and The Natural World, making use of traditional photographic techniques.

The art department continues to work with the dynamic sculptor Meier Williams, who has guided the students through a two-day workshop, Architecture and the Human Form.

This represents the culmination of a period of thorough research, where the students have practised drawing from the model, researched a wide range of artists, and studied the architecture of the church at West Alvington.

On a trip to the British Museum in London they looked at classical sculpture, the forms and aspects of body adornment seen in other cultures, the use of body armour, and, to begin to relate the figure to its environment, they studied the architecture of the building itself.

The students' sketchbook work alone is vibrant and bursting with ideas, and the finished sculptures are stunning.

Other projects include Conceal and Reveal, a theme explored through painting and printmaking.

Architecture and the Human Form, the exhibition of art and photography by AS-level students of Kingsbridge Community College, opens at Harbour House on Tuesday 4 March. Opening times will be 10am - 5pm, until the close of the show on Saturday 8 March. Admission is free.
