Study trip to Oxford

In preparation for their first assignment during their Extended Diploma our group of level 3 students visited the Pitt Rivers and the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. During the project students will be using a range of art and design processes to record and label a range of their personal items. The study trip to the museums in Oxford gave the students a good inside into how to display their own items, while taking inspiration from the overwhelming amount of artefacts on show.

Leonardo Mobility Student Exchange-Prague.

Leonardo Mobility is an Exchange programme that gives students on the Extended Diploma Art & Design Course from Birmingham Metropolitan College the opportunity to go and study at a college in Prague, Czech Republic for three weeks. It is the chance to meet students from a very historic yet modern city in the heart of Europe, and engage in different cultural, social and educational experiences.

This is open to students who have shown a high degree of responsibility towards their learning, with a good attendance and achievement record. Places on the exchange are limited and anybody expressing an interest will have to go through a formal interview. If you would like to know more, then please speak to your personal tutor.

Welcome to Outline!

Last Wednesday our new generation of Creative Careers in Art and Design students came into college for their induction day. Over the summer months, in preparation for induction day, the students were set the task to build and design two three-dimensional letters based on their initials and their interests and hobbies. The students introduced themselves to the rest of the group through the letters they had designed. This activity was followed by a new task, which challenged each group to come up with a sentence incorporating all the letters that individual members of the group had brought with them.

Some students building additional letters to fill in gaps within the group's sentences.

The whole group of over 80 students was split up into three smaller groups. Each group had to come up with their own response using all letters available.

After lunch all students built their own hand-made concertina sketchbook in preparation for projects, which will be launched next week.

As a conclusion to the day Colin Young the Associate Director of Outline awarded prizes to students who had designed the most interesting and ambitious letters.

Two of the three prize winners Moses and Effiena, well done!
