Time's a tickin! More tasters of from the UAL Foundation and Extended Diploma students at Weston College. The studios are buzzing with the sounds of printing, ripping, sticking, cutting, sewing, hammering, drilling, hairdrying and shouts of "where's the blue tac?" and "you're not allowed up the ladders!" Exhausting but brilliant fun. Not long now! 🔨 🪚 🪜

Gestural life drawing today- using varied and exciting mark making with cardboard, sponge, sticks and ink as tools. These quick sketches saw the students taking lots of risks and fully pushing the boundaries of such simple materials. Life drawing is such a skill to have and we relish these opportunities we give our students on the UAL Foundation and the Yr 2 Extended Diploma here at Weston College

Some visual highlights here as we reflect on the fabulous first few months of artwork created by the very talented students on the UAL Foundation and Extended Diploma students at Weston College. There have been strong friendships made, drawing projects conducted outside, life drawing sessions, a plethora of varied workshops, subject rotation specialisms, critiques, visiting lecturers, seminars, sketchbook construction, creating an online presence- and you name it, it's been busy! Well done all, happy Christmas, have a lie down! Here's to next year and we are also looking forward to interviewing all our new prospective students! 🎄

Another Foundation Diploma Experience Day at Weston college. Immersive drawing allowed the students to collaborate and consider what drawing actually can be, and how to consider space, line, texture, light, angles: all that good stuff. Thank you Chew Valley sixth formers for transforming our life drawing room and being so creatively open and thoughtful. The Foundation Experience Day is open to all year 12 and 13 art students to come and see and feel what a vital Foundation Diploma year is all about- before you make that next step to university. Please get in touch if you are interested. Now we need a lie down after clearing up that room!
