Mirka Olko, our Year 12 student, was shortlisted for SPoKE 2020 Art Documentary Competition organised by St. Mary’s School Ascot. Her documentary is called “The black square: Layers”.

SPoKE is an art historical, documentary film-making competition set up by the History of Art Department of St Mary’s School Ascot, and co-sponsored by Art History Abroad, open to students in years 11, 12 or 13. It is designed to challenge students to link the visual and the verbal in an imaginative and creative manner, underpinned by solid academic research. Any one work (painting, sculpture, drawing, print, multimedia, conceptual or performance art, building) may be chosen as the subject of a 5-7 minute film.

The awards ceremony will take place on 10th March.
