Paint Storm

On Wednesday 22 April Year 7 & 8 boys were treated to a fantastic Artist in Residence incursion from Phil Doncon. Phil is a high energy, big mural type painter who weaves his own story about being bullied, leaving home to go to boarding school, his successes and failures as he made his way through football and university an then into a challenging career as an artist. Phil's paintings were eye catching and the speed at which he painted was impressive but it was his message of not giving up, of understanding your personal strengths and developing them that really hit the mark.
