Grade 12 Art Exhitibition
The Edgemead matric visual art class of 2019 displayed their final year exhibition on Wednesday 16 October.
Their work was of a high quality and showcased a wide range of styles, techniques and interests. The diverse styles of this year group and their hard working attitude made the exhibition a huge success.
Parents and friends had an opportunity to view the art on display during the evening. It was a wondeful evening in which the artists of Edgemead High School were properly celebrated.
