Exploring Media Prize Winners | 2021

 This year has been different in so many ways, most recently being that we were unable to do our AL1 exhibition around college with Exploring Media exhibition boards as we have done for the last few years. However we still wanted to celebrate this years Exploring Media with our usual prize giving to commend the fantastic achievements that our first year students have made in this project, especially given the circumstances of such an unpredictable and unusual year. 

Therefore it is our pleasure to share this years Exploring Media Prize Winners! These have been proudly displayed outside the principal's office on the SLT corridor. If you would like to have a look at these, let us know and we can take you up!

Photography Trip to Clifton Park

 Usually at this time of year, our whole department would have been venturing over to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park to research artists, produce drawings and take photographs. Unfortunately, as with so many things this year, we were unable to go! So in place of this, our Photography students instead have had a lovely morning and afternoon out at Clifton Park doing photoshoots surrounding their concepts which they developed before half term. 

Luckily we just about avoided the rain and were actually treated to two glorious autumnal (albeit rather chilly!) days with some beautiful sunshine and a fantastic array of colours especially from the seasonal trees and dropped leaves. Starting at the museum, we took a slow walk around the park, stopping at areas such as the war memorial, the band stand, and the rockery. Each student focussed on their own concept, many took with them interesting props to photograph, the likes of which included umbrellas, mirrors, clingfilm, and even milk!! It was great to see everyone really getting stuck into it and working so well together, always being on hand to help out and model for each other!

Here are just a few photos of what went on!
