 She said: “They each choose a theme to work with, and put so much into the art they create.  

“Their focus and dedication can be seen in what they have produced.” 

The artwork will go towards the students' final A-level grade. (Image: Ian Burt / Barking Dog Media)Student Angel has opted for adult themes in animation and has produced a portrait of The Joker from the Batman franchise.

Another student, Emmie, is fascinated by the usually overlooked attributes of animals, from the eye of a peacock tail to the beaks of birds and eyes of cats.   

“We have a tabby cat, four rabbits and four Guinea pigs, and I wanted to highlight the details that are not usually looked at too closely,” she said.
