Here are photos of two sculptures by Sam Holland, who will be designing and creating the overall sculpture to be placed at the brand new Brompton Academy site.
‘The Mariners’ is a community funded sculpture based on St Mary’s Island in Chatham, Kent. The piece is created from a combination of bronze, concrete and stainless steel.
The ‘Royal National Lifeboat Institution Memorial Sculpture’ depicting a dramatic rescue and commemorating the sacrifice of thousands of lives, is situated on the grounds of the RNLI Headquarters in Poole.
University of Kent Ambassadors are working with Brompton Academy students to develop an inspirational centrepiece to be showcased on the school-hall stage. Each year group adds a unique element to the overall sculpture, eventually resulting in a completed installation with input and influence from the entire secondary school.
Browse the gallery below to see the University of Kent Ambassadors supporting the first stages of the piece of art.
As the University of Kent prepares to launch the project in a number of Brompton Academy assemblies, the Ambassadors from the Medway School of Arts (based on the Chatham Dockyard) recieve extensive training on how to support secondary students in creating an impressive backdrop.
