Day 2/2 and the weather may have been cold and wet but nothing dampened our spirits.
We began with a spot of drawing of central pier.
A 40 minute study to start the day.
Then onto a spot of photography under the pier, recording the natural structures-looking at the barnacles and rust,
And sketching the man made structure of the pier itself.
Then after a walk on the beach, followed by lunch we headed to our next stop, Illuminasia.
This was by far the most inspirational part of the trip today.
The indoor illuminations were breath taking and the scale of the light sculptures were enormous, I can feel a light sculpture brief coming.
Each room had a different theme and students were able to walk amongst the sculptures.
This sculpture was all made in situ over a six week period and the dog alone used over 650 metres of silk in top if a wire frame.
Just enough time to grab a quick bit of Blackpool rock, before we headed back home.
Over 2 days we have collected enough primary research for the next 2 units and have had an amazing time.
The weather was good to us and the rain stayed away until we got onto the train back to Manchester.
