Meet the scholars
Charterhouse Jamie Murray is studying Pre-U Art in the Upper Sixth Self-portrait of a classless society (oil on canvas)
‘These portraits represent the class divide in the social melting pot of Charterhouse School, whose personas I observe every day. Being an art scholar has allowed me to explore and express more my creative personality, which I believe has helped me in other

aspects of life socially and academically.’
Harrow School Giles Hart is in the fifth form studying GCSE Fine Art Vancouver landscape (oil on canvas)
‘This landscape painting was chosen from a photograph I took in Vancouver. I didn’t manipulate it at all by using Photoshop as I wanted to capture how naturally beautiful the scene was. The painting took me roughly 10 hours. The detail I put in is important because it’s what makes the piece the biggest accomplishment for me. The art facilities
at Harrow are excellent and extensive with regular art trips to go on (especially as the top London galleries are only a 40-minute Tube journey away) and we have great teachers. All the boys studying art have the same high-quality teaching; what sets art scholars apart at Harrow is the ambition to exceed our expectations and be excellent ambassadors for the subject.’
Marlborough College Ebba Sahlgren, Upper Sixth, is study-
ing for A Level Fine Art Floral Series (Photography, Porcelain Installation)
