James’ artwork, “Take a Picture” was a multi-media interactive design that encouraged members of the public to use their camera phones to post their ideas and artwork on the plinth via a large rotating screen. Mr Beint also received a surprise Art Teacher’s award during the ceremony which took place in City Hall and was hosted by the Deputy Mayor of London, Munira Mirza.
