The
Sir James Henderson was founded in 1969 by British parents who wanted to provide
a British education for their children in Milan. Sir James Henderson, after
whom the school is named, founded the first Rotary Club in Italy.
For the last 40 years the Sir James Henderson school has aspired to achieve
excellence in all areas of the English curriculum and has an established
reputation for the quality of the art work produced by its students.
The Exhibition is one of the major events celebrating the ‘40 Years of Sir
James’. It is the final stage in the International Baccalaureate Visual Arts
programme which will be viewed and judged by examiners/art critics from the IB
Central Office in Geneva.
It is with great pride that we present the work of eight art students,
demonstrating a high level of personal growth over a period of 19 months
combining cultural diversity with the influence of young emerging talents. The
exhibition will include 3D work, relief panels, photographs, collage, painting
and drawings as well as sketch and project work books showing the excellent
technique they have achieved.
It is because of events of this nature that so many Sir James Henderson students
are now involved in Art and Design related careers throughout the world.
We are very grateful to Sotheby’s for their generous sponsorship in hosting this
event, to The British Chamber of Commerce for Italy for their ongoing support
and to the Parents and Friends of the Sir James Henderson School.
