Each group was asked to create a model to showcase the proposal and summaries the drawings. With limited resources and tight time restrictions imagination is key. #reimaginingmcr #northernsoul2018 #OurTownHall

Great to meet you all today - Looking forward to the rest of the EVENTS program!

This is a reminder for all Group 3 - BA1 & BA2 students...

Following Stephanie's email last week we wanted to remind you that we are meeting at 10am on Wednesday the 18th of April at Manchester Town Hall. This is compulsory! Please meet promptly at the statue shown in the image in Albert Square, we will be there to guide you from then on.

Look forward to meeting you all then and getting started on the EVENTS program we have planned for you!

As well as digital skills our EVENTS program will use the skill of drawing.

"Drawing aids us to be, teaches how to observe and understand, to describe reality, to become aware of the elements which comprise the whole of its textures, its colours, its contours its proportions and its shade of light."
