Comenius Visit

Say ‘dobar den’ and ‘buon giorno’ this week…

On Thursday and Friday this week we will be paying host to students from Bulgaria and Italy who will be producing photographs and drawings from their short stay in Birmingham. There is also the chance to meet many teachers who will also be here from Latvia, Turkey, Spain, Italy, Czech Republic and Bulgaria. So why not say hello!

This is the start of a Comenius project that the college is participating in. Over the course of the next two years, our students will be given the opportunity to participate in a project based upon gastronomic traditions and its representation in art, literature and life. Through this the students from Outline will be communicating with their peers from the six other countries involved via the web, as well as visiting them at set times throughout the project. Funding for this has come through the Lifelong Learning Programme.

Art students in the local paper

Our talented students got a mention in the Sutton Coldfield Observer on October 5th. The image features the fantastic portraits produced by the A-level Art students but all Art students put on a fabulous exhibition after only three weeks! Excellent work!

Book of Birmingham

Come along and join us at The Birmingham Book festival in the library. The City of 1000 Stories team invites you to participate in our latest art installation, the Book of Birmingham. Share you personal experience and tell your story through words and images using a range of simple mark making and drawing techniques, before adding your contribution to the flying pages of the Book of Birmingham installation in the pop-up bookshop.

Spend some time or simply drop in for a moment to add your ‘visual voice’ to the many fragments. Join us, let your story be part of the installation, be creative and make your mark!
