Global Academy’s Year 12 Art, Design and Media students recently embarked on an inspiring trip to London College of Communication’s LCC Shows 2023. Discover how our students unlocked their creativity and envisioned a future city during an engaging workshop at the Drawing Club.

As part of their visit to LCC, Global Academy students had the privilege of participating in a special workshop led by LCC tutors, Trudi Esberger and Kelly Hall. The workshop, known as the Drawing Club, provided our students with a creative space to explore their imaginations and conceive a future city. Through innovative artistic techniques and imaginative exercises, our students were empowered to shape urban environments and bring their visions to life.

The LCC Shows 2023 exhibition served as a backdrop for our students’ creative exploration. The showcased projects, ranging from identity to social justice and sustainability, offered diverse perspectives and inspired thought-provoking conversations. Our students witnessed firsthand the power of art and design in challenging norms and shaping narratives, igniting their own artistic ambitions.

The Global Academy students’ visit to LCC and their immersive experience at the Drawing Club workshop left a lasting impact. Encountering the dedication and passion of LCC students fueled their own artistic voices and motivated them to push the boundaries of their creativity. By embracing a variety of artistic approaches and emerging technologies, our students discovered new possibilities for their future creative endeavours.

Getting to experience creative work first hand allows our students to develop their creative thinking and idea generation. This term, we’re focusing on exhibition skills so exploring work in real life settings help learning come to life.
