2018: Light and Dark
The MUSA Young Artist Award is an annual art competition for schools in Fife. It aims to recognise and support creativity in schools, and promote learning using the University of St Andrews' museum collections as a starting point.
Pupils were encouraged to explore the historic objects and artworks at the Museum of the University of St Andrews and use them as inspiration for their creations.
Winners were chosen on the basis of:
- Originality and creativity
- Confident handling of materials
- Boldness and impact
- An obvious link to collections at MUSA
The judges were impressed by the standard of the artworks and awarded Special Merits to twelve additional pupils.
The winning entries are on display in St Andrews Library, Church Square, until 22 July.
