2nd Year Cardboard workshop

Some work in progress from the second year cardboard workshop...

1st Years 'walk' paintings

A couple of weeks ago when the sun was still shinning we took our first years for a walk around the docks, they had to sketch and photograph and record as much as they could whilst they enjoyed the views and sunshine and bacon butties! On their return to college they had to make a piece of work based on their journey, what they had seen and experienced. The outcomes are really excellent, they've done a brilliant job of conjuring up the sunny bristolian day by the water.

2nd Year Painting without a brush workshop

There were some excellent outcomes to last weeks workshop which was painting without a brush, quite a hard challenge which our second years rose to with gusto! Blowing paint, splashing paint, squirting paint, smearing paint and dabbing paint were all techniques that were explored. Our corridors are now proudly displaying the work...check it out...
