SFCA Art Exhibition 2021: Fake News

The national art exhibition for sixth form college students

1st-22nd July 2021

Welcome to the SFCA Art Exhibition 2021. This year’s theme is Fake News and showcases students’ creative interpretation of the theme, and their reflections on how hard it can be to distinguish fact from fiction.

This online exhibition is also a way of celebrating the arts and recognising excellence in sixth form colleges, which are a vital supply pipeline of talented artists of the future. It is imperative that we keep the arts in education secure and flourishing. If young people are to make a truly valuable contribution to society, even if they are to be successful scientists, engineers, doctors and technicians, they need to develop their creative skills, their artistic sensitivities and their ability to interact with others.

Bill Watkin, chief executive of the SFCA, said: “The Fake News exhibition is a celebration of the arts and a recognition of the excellence in sixth form colleges, which are a vital supply pipeline of talented artists. But it also highlights how young people feel about having to navigate the vast amount of news and information that is available in the modern world, and at the same time, to discern what is the truth. Art has always played an important role in social and political commentary, and the students featured in Fake News have shown they have the talent to communicate their feelings about this important subject in a powerful and effective way”.

Agreed @NickGibbUK: "I believe...in education for education’s sake. We want to make sure that every child is taught a broad, ambitious and knowledge-rich curriculum until at least the age of 16". But why stop there? Post-16 @educationgovuk tells us education about getting a job https://t.co/tCy0plxNs8

Warnings have come from @AoC_info and @SFCA_info, and @WeAreTheMU's Chris Walters wrote in MT in March that there could be 'frustratingly few options for music students, which will have serious ripple effects for higher education and access to careers.' https://t.co/SlwXnqZlEU

Wow, makes an interesting read, and you wonder why bother with a consultation if you are just going to ignore the majority of responses? It feels like this is a process of brushing genuine concerns under the proverbial carpet #protectstudentchoice #edutwitter

"...it is hard to fathom why the govt would want to scrap applied general qualifications.... an established pathway, which works very well for large numbers of students. Teachers are experienced in delivering them, & employers understand & recognise them." #ProtectStudentChoice https://t.co/qMu0TaxnXA

At SFCA we believe arts education is every student's right - hence our #6thformart exhibition. On the blog this week, Helen at @PriorPursglove @StocktonSFC writes about how @Artsmarkaward helped her college integrate arts into every part of the curriculum. https://t.co/zp2ywwOKls

Recap: "I’m writing this on the day that the prime minister is banging on again about his “levelling-up” agenda - and in a week when these proposed qualification reforms are far more likely to lead to levelling down": my @tes column https://t.co/Y2XHelKwmL #ProtectStudentChoice https://t.co/6F0Hprvmq0

Excellent piece from @RealGeoffBarton on the hopelessly misguided plan to stop funding applied general qualifications like BTECs. @ASCL_UK is a key member of the #ProtectStudentChoice campaign - it is vital that @educationgovuk rethinks it plans for Level 3 qualifications. https://t.co/3vn7ht1HNw

Helpful message from @TheLadyWilcox yesterday in Skills Debate: "I can assure noble Lords of the quality standards of BTEC qualifications because I taught them for many years, alongside A-level qualifications." #ProtectStudentChoice https://t.co/vIoMVSEoaa

Lord Baker in Skills Bill debate yesterday: "I hope that we have less talk of abolishing BTECs early on in order to give preference to T-levels before people really know what constitutes a successful T-level and what does not." #ProtectStudentChoice

Lord Willetts in debate yesterday: "the Government believe in trying to divide young people into the sheep and the goats... it would be a great pity if BTECs lost out simply because they have an employment value as well as being accepted by universities". #ProtectStudentChoice

Blown away - the ingenuity of these students illuminates new ways of seeing misinformation. Whilst its exemplary of how pictures can impress beyond a cage of words to reveal human experience. 👏👏@SFCA_info for a remarkable #exhibition. #ArtistOnTwitter https://t.co/85SJ9TptRf
