Kilgraston’s 2020 Christmas card

In keeping with tradition, Kilgraston’s 2020 Christmas card has been created by one of our talented pupils. This year’s Christmas card competition winner is Upper Sixth’s Alexandra.
The stunning painting in acrylic took Alexandra around two weeks to paint.
Alexandra said: “I wanted to create a painting that captured some of the magic of Christmas. The angel at the heart of the scene was inspired by the Angel Gabriel or the Christmas Angel as I would picture them. At Christmas angels represent light, hope and good news. I think this year more than any we need a bit of light in our lives and I hoped to create a painting that would capture that sentiment.
“By placing the angel within a familiar setting such as the school grounds, it makes the whole scene feel more magical. That if you peered out of the school windows on a wintry Christmas night you might catch a glimpse of an angel in the snow.”
The Kilgraston’s 2020 Christmas card should be with our families now so we hope you enjoy them. If you would also like to find out how Kilgraston has continued to celebrate Christmas, have you read about our Christmas movie? You can read more here.
