FINE ARTS FESTIVAL 2024

The Orme School Fine Arts Festival is a unique and storied tradition dating back to 1968. In my time working at the school, designing the T-shirt artwork for the ensuing years FAF has been a true highlight. Using the skills and ideas of students, sketches are drawn, refined and selected to be worked with in Adobe Illustrator and/or Photoshop. Students take a crack and polishing the designs themselves, and I present tutorials to bring each design to professional quality. Finally the designs are voted upon by the greater community and we have our T-Shirt up for sale shortly there after.

2024: With the tagline "Exploring the World through Art", our leading sketch featured an origami bird and a school bus traveling down its craned neck. With a celebratory nod to the Asian culture of many of our students, the origami is budding with our local prickly pear cacti, and a tree protrudes, symbolizing growth. The art style is consistent and curated for the green colored shirt, chosen before the design process began.
