St. Ives 2010

At the end of every year the Art department take the BTEC National Diploma first year students on a four day field trip to the well known artist colony St. Ives in Cornwall.

During the trip the students visit The Tate St Ives, The Barbara Hepworth Studio and Gardens, and the Eden Project where they can draw, sketch and take photographs.

They also have the chance to wander around the historical town visiting, interviewing and talking to local artists.

Evening activities are also arranged for the students which include sand sculpting, night time and sunset photography, and games!

All the work done on the trip goes towards their second year specialised units and their final exhibition.
