This year's A2 ESA trip to Manchester took us once again to The Whitworth and Manchester Art Gallery, where we got the chance to see work by a wide variety of artists, designers and photographers. The day may have started drizzly, but it was only a short walk across Whitworth from the coach to The Whitworth itself, and once inside we quickly took a quick a register before sending everyone off to collect research and create studies.
The Whitworth were exhibiting a great variety of work for all our Fine Art, Graphics and Photography students to look at, including Cezanne, Elizabeth Price, Tracey Emin - and many more! The shop was also fantastic for our Graphics students to see how artwork and design can be translated into unique products. All our students studied the work on display and created drawings and sketches from the work that inspired them.
Time soon flew by and by 12 it was time to meet in the promenade for some lunch, as well as have a quick look at everyone's work that had been produced so far, and before we knew it it was time to jump back on the coach to make our way the Manchester Art Gallery. (although not before we got a quick group photo in front of some very snazzy wallpaper!)
Now the day may have started drizzly, but by lunchtime it was POURING! However, it was once again only a quick hop off the coach and down the street to get to the Manchester Art Gallery, which had a fantastic 'Out of the Crate' sculpture collection exhibition on display as well as their permanent Fine Art collection.
It was soon time to head back to the coach one final time to make our way back over the Pennines back to TRC. As always, thank you to all our students for such a lovely day - we hope you all enjoyed it too! We already can't wait for next year!
