On a somewhat miserable October day, our staff and first year students braced the weather and had a superb day out visiting the Yorkshire Sculpture Park; an annual tradition which we missed out on last year due to Covid, and were therefore so excited to bring back this year.
After so long without a trip for us as staff, as well as so many of the students who came along with us, it was a great day all round and such an enjoyable and valuable experience.
As we visited Damien Hirst, Sean Scully, Ai Weiwei, Barbara Hepworth and Joana Vasconcelos (currently exhibiting in Underground Gallery), our students studiously produced work in the form of drawings and photographs, and conducted research to understand more in depth the concepts and ideas of the artists.
Fine Art created some stunning expressive and formal drawings of the work along with Graphics, who also visited the shop to research existing product and graphic design, and Photography students conducted planned photoshoots of the park and sculptures.
While the rain may have cut our trip a bit shorter than we had planned, we were so impressed by how much good quality work our students did while on the trip, as well as how engaged and enthusiastic they were.
Thank you for a lovely day out folks, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
