MFL Window Artwork
In 2007 the artist Michael Condron was commissioned to work with the Gifted and Talented Art students on a design project to make a welcome sign for the MFL department.
The following 12 students were involved;
Jordan Cardy 7M, Victoria Wilson 7C, Mytilli Jeganathan 8H, Lucy Clark 8H, Hannah James 8L, Dan Mc Gowan 8L, Faye Harrniman 9H, Jessica Wiling 9H, Ashley Saunders 9V, Dan Sorrel 9C, Josh Smith 9C and Emily Gardiner 9L.
The location for this art work was to be the top windows of the stairs on the upstairs case to MFL. The students set about designing the window art. They came to art club for 3 weeks in order to start planning some ideas. Then work began with the artist in residence. A collaboration of ideas evolved and a master plan drawn up.
At last the time came to cut out the window film. The artist gave detailed instruction on the best way to do this. The main priority was to make sure the shapes were the right way round; this was generally achieved apart from the profile of Hannah’s head. This was round the wrong way and it had to be re-cut. Luckily we had enough blue as the suppliers of the window film had sent extra plastic.
The mapping-out the design to scale and the cutting of the window film took two days of hard work. The scaffolding arrived on the Friday after school. The artist then spent the weekend installing the artwork onto the window.
