To finish off a rather hectic and busy term, staff and A2 students had a gorgeous day out in Manchester collecting research and work for their upcoming exam. Thank you to all staff and students for such a lovely day, if only we could do this every week!
We left TRC and arrived at The Whitworth bang on 10 o clock. Currently being exhibited at The Whitworth are artists such as Idris Khan, Andy Warhol, Deanna Petherbridge, Marcantonio Raimondi and Raphael and Anya Gallaccio. As well as a wide variety collection of portraits, new sculpture and revolutionary textiles. Students were allowed to take photographs in the galleries, and spent the day researching the exhibiting artists and building a collection of drawings and annotation for their sketchbooks.
Then we had lunch on the promenade, where the students shared their work so far.
After lunch we boarded back on the coach and made our way to the Manchester City Gallery. The City Gallery is best known for its permanent collection of 19th century artists including the Pre-Raphaelites, and is currently exhibiting a collection of photography called 'Strange and Familiar: Britain as Revealed by International Photographers'.
And then it was time to head home. Thank you again for such a lovely trip, you're a credit to the college! I hope you all found it useful and had a good time.
