Yorkshire Sculpture Park Trip 2016

This years AL students went on their YSP trip on the 19th of October, and it was surprisingly a wonderfully dry and sunny day! They produced some brilliant drawings and photographs, and were a credit to the college the whole day.

The 5 groups split into two teams to take turns in the underground gallery. One half started off around the park taking photographs and life drawing of the permanent sculptures such as the Henry Moore bronze sculptures. Then went on to lunch and were actually able to sit outside as it was so beautifully sunny! Meanwhile the other half spent 2 hours in and around the underground gallery looking at the work of Not Vital. The two teams swapped over and before we knew it it was time to head home! 
Thank you to all our students for making this such a lovely day for everyone involved, we hope you all found the experience valuable and hope you all enjoyed yourselves!

      

The current artist exhibiting in the underground gallery is leading sculptor Not Vital, in his first major exhibition in the UK. The exhibition includes paintings and works on paper, indoor pieces made from plaster, silver, gold, marble, glass and coal, and outdoor sculptures in stainless steel and bronze.
