A-Level Summer Exhibition Online 2016
Selected from over 2,000 submissions, the A-level Summer Exhibition Online is a showcase of Britain’s best young artistic talent.
This year, 1,400 aspiring artists attending sixth form colleges or schools, submitted their work to the A-level Summer Exhibition Online 2016. Take a look at this exhibition of 46 exceptional works of art, selected by our expert panel: Royal Academician Bob and Roberta Smith, Head of Architecture Kate Goodwin, and RA Schools student Claire Undy.
Having your work chosen to appear in the A-level Summer Exhibition Online is a great achievement for young artists in the UK. Many of these students will go on to develop their talents at art school and in their careers. Students from all over the UK enter their works and the exhibition showcases a rich variety of styles and media: from drawing and video to sculpture and prints, painting and photography.
Held to coincide with the world’s largest open-entry exhibition, the Summer Exhibition, this online equivalent for artists aged 16–18, signals an exciting future for art in this country. Be among the first to discover it now.
“The exhibition includes work that is thoughtful, almost psychedelic, poetic, elegiac, but also funny and romantic. We, the judges, loved looking at the breadth and skill of all the entries. Congratulations to all the young artists who submitted works to the A-Level Summer Exhibition Online. Good luck to all these students, and we hope to see you in Art school!” – Bob and Roberta Smith RA

Video
Nu. ages
St Dunstans College
I made this short film as an attempt to visually translate all the exciting ideas and images that can go through someones head, even against their will! Combining adverts, movies, and paintings to small animations was a way to express how everything we see around us gets mixed in an incoherent fashion within our imagination.

Untitled
Cheltenham Ladies College
Reflecting back to the theme of objectification of women, I used digital media to establish a relationship between women and raw meat, highlighting and mocking the status of women in some cultures, which is just as cheap, easily obtainable and objectified.The shooting and editing was inspired by Ways of Seeing by John Berger, which suggests that perspectives are influenced by people’s personal experiences, knowledge and conditions (e.g. location, time, mood) when viewing the image. I juxtaposed and angled the chicken in a way that suggests female genitalia to make sexual innuendos as well as to mock the treatment of women as sexual objects.

Factory
Marymount International School
The artwork was made using a 3D zoetrope technique, which makes 12 different stills appear animated. This technique is used to exaggerate what is happening in the factory where a piggy bank is repeatedly produced and consumed. The intention is to show how the importance of an object easily fades away as the process repeats over and over again. The title refers to Andy Warhol’s studio, “Silver Factory".

A Test of Fears
New Hall School
As noises and sound-effects in famous thrillers and horrors create suspense, I decided to put that to the test. The two people in this video are listening to an audio piece that I created based on a fear test that people took part in. However, these people did not do that test…here are their reactions…

University College School
This video is meant to be shown on loop repetitively in a gallery space and it explores how I can create visually pleasing imagery, also exploring how one can take a video and make it stand out. I found fast aggressive music, which had also been created for this purpose, makes a video seem more action packed than if it weren’t there, after that the main reasoning behind a lot of the imagery was to create eye candy which was aesthetically nice to look at.
