This term, students have been working on their new ‘Urban Environments’ project, exploring new artists and materials to build their skills. They started by looking at works by contemporary Korean artist Sunga Park, exploring different buildings and refining work with a fine liner pen. 

The second artist they explored, Tom Quigley, uses Manchester as the backdrop to his paintings. The students used acrylic paint, rather than oils, to explore techniques for layering, building texture and mixing colour.
