Prospective AS Fine Art students were responding to the theme of 'Summer'.



Vocational Taster Day 2 - Welcome to Outline

"Jazz-Hands" part 2: the taster crew in front of their work - fantastic!
The day was started of by applying photocopies of Tuesday's work onto one long sheet of paper. After that, the student had to link the photocopies with each other using the medium of drawing....

Welcome to Outline! - Vocational Taster Day


Today the art and design team invited next year's students into the college for a vocational taster session. The students used personal objects as their inspiration to develop several drawings, wire sculptures and computer based designs. The taster will continue this week Thursday, when the students will use today's outcomes to create larger-scale work.
