This years YSP trip with first year Fine Art, Graphics and Photography students was a gorgeous day of sunshine and a wonderful opportunity to see some of the stunning artwork and instillations currently on display.
The current exhibitions that we visited were:
- Guiseppe Penone - A Tree in the Wood
- Chiharu Shiota - Beyond Time
- Ai Weiwei -Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads
Arriving just after 10 o'clock, we split into two groups to take turns visiting the exhibitions in the underground gallery and the chapel, while the other group would do expressive drawings and take photographs at the permanent Barbara Hepworth's and Ai Weiwei's Iron Tree.
We met back up for a quick lunch (with just enough time to get a group photograph!) and then headed down to the Sophie Ryder's and Ai Weiwei's Zodiac Heads, where Fine Art and Graphics produced extended studies of a sculpture of their choice, while Photography focused on triptych images.
Before we knew it, it was time to head back! Once we were all back on the coach, we asked our students to give us feedback on their first term here at the TRC art department with our customary Learner Voice survey (blog post coming soon!)
It was, as always, a lovely day out, so thank you to all our students for being so terrific and hard working throughout the day! We had a great time! :)
