Students Turn Memories Into Art | Glasgow News

Robbie Bushe spent a full year living and working on campus at Merchiston Castle School, immersing students in the real-life grind of being a professional artist. Instead of just watching art, kids contributed drawings, stories, and wild ideas—like secret geckos in the library or underground train tunnels—fueling a massive collaborative artwork centered on memory and community. One student even wove his Hong Kong-to-Edinburgh move into the piece, blending personal history with architecture. Bushe was inspired by the kids’ curiosity, which pushed him creatively and reminded him of the power of community. This residency proved that hands-on exposure to the artist’s daily life is far more impactful than textbook learning—it’s about seeing art as a living, breathing process.
