It’s been a busy day introducing Year 8 pupils to art curation with the help of our guest artist and curator, okcandice. 🤩 The pupils were then set the task of creating a unique exhibition space using Metasteps. We loved seeing their outcomes, ranging from exploring different cultures to horror!

Here’s more beautiful work from our concept artist, Clodagh, who has been reimagining Mother Nature in a painterly style. 🌿
Working in Substance Painter, she’s designed custom texture maps and applied these to the model in @unity.com. We love these before-and-after images!
