As part of their skills project Newbury College Art students set up an exhibition at The Green Park Conference Centre, Reading,
where employers are voting for the pieces they would like to see displayed permanently on site.
Each year students at Newbury College carry out a skills project that meets the needs of a local organisation. The project is aimed to build students' knowledge and skills and develop their confidence in leadership, communication and teamwork. Students had been asked to produce art work on the theme of Spring' to refresh the corridors of the conference centre, Reading.
Art Lecturer Jackie Heggs said, This creative project has given students an amazing opportunity to showcase their work whilst gaining invaluable employability skills in working to a real brief. Students have really grown in confidence as a result of the experience and we hope that this project will become part of a cycle of opportunities to produce art work for the site.
