    Graeme College hosted its seventh arts and culture week this week. Priscilla Glover, the head of the music department at Graeme College, says the event is intended to showcase what the boys can do on the cultural side of things.
     

    The event is uncompetitive because, according to Glover, “too much competition can be a bad thing, because everyone is so good”.

    Warren Mills, a Grade 12 learner, showcased his artwork at this event. The 14 times double gold winner and nine times gold winner for art at the Bathurst Agricultural Show and the Eastern Cape Eisteddfod says that he has been passionate about art ever since he could pick up a pencil. 

    Growing up on a farm inspired him to draw animals, however he also enjoys themes related to the history of the Eastern Cape.

    One of Mills’ outstanding art pieces is a drawing of King Hinsta without a head after he was murdered by George Southey in 1835.
     

    Mills also showcased some of his sculpture. “I decided to do sculpture to express my feelings about working with pick-axes as my father always made us work with them in the farm,” he says.

    The event included performances by the junior and senior choir, marimbas, steel band – xylophone and speech and drama.
