CREATIVE Arts students from Bracknell and Wokingham College celebrated their successes at their Art and Photography Exhibition Private View. 

Works on display, at the Church Road campus, included life drawings, paintings, mixed media pieces, models, sculptures, photography, graphic design and illustration. 

Several students received a certificate to commend them for their hard work, which was presented by Mayor of Bracknell Forest Naheed Ejaz and Mayor of Bracknell Town, Simon Carter. 

Summer Sheppard, 18, from Bracknell, is studying a Creative Practice: Art, Design and Communication Level 3 Extended Diploma at Bracknell and Wokingham College. She received Star Student award for the second year of her course. 

She said: “I wasn’t expecting to win an award! It was such a surprise!  
“My work on display includes a sketch of a building where I asked viewers which building it was to get them to guess and get involved. For the balance module, I sketched some designs and typography onto All Saints and Swarovski bags to make them stand out and get their brand more involved.”
Jamie Dinkeldein, 17, from Crowthorne, is studying a Creative Practice: Art, Design and Communication Level 3 Extended Diploma at Bracknell and Wokingham College. He received Star Student award for the first year of his course. 

He said: “I wasn’t expecting it! I’m really happy to have received the award. 
“Art has been one of my hobbies since I was 15, and I enjoyed creating lots of sculptures. I then I decided to study it at college, specialising in Graphic Design, which I’ve also done some work experience in where I’ve been creating posters.”
