Photography at Carr Hill is increasingly becoming popular amongst Sixth Form students.
Year 12 and 13 students taking Art or Photography at A Level have taken their photography skills out of Carr Hill to capture a variety of different images.
Students visited the city of Liverpool to take photos of the stunning architecture. They also were given the opportunity to take photos of a visiting rock pool provided by Sealife Centre Blackpool as students on the Fine Art course are currently studying Coral and Sealife.
Celebrating the fantastic work of the students is important at Carr Hill Sixth Form so a selection of photography work has been displayed in an area of the dining room, allowing all students to see the pieces that are produced by A Level students.
Photography teacher, Miss Wignall said: “The students should be very proud of the work they’ve created over the past year so we felt that they needed a dedicated area to display some of their best pieces.
“Since the display has been up I’ve had many positive comments about Photography from both staff and students who are keen to get involved which is great news!”
The Year 12 students spent an evening snapping shots like the professionals when they attended a Masquerade Ball to raise funds for children suffering Type 1 Diabetes.
The students, Charlotte Appleyard, Sophie Gardner, Amy Healey, Chelsea Edwards, Abbie Boardman and Christie – Leigh Jones, worked hard throughout the event taking photos of over 150 masked guests including Fylde MP, Mark Menzies.
The ball, held at The Hilton Hotel in Blackpool, was organised through Blackpool, Fylde & Wyre Children’s Diabetes Group and raised over £1000 for the cause.
Art student, Charlotte Appleyard said: “I really enjoyed taking photos at the ball as it was a really great event to support.
“The photos that were taken will not only be a nice reminder of an enjoyable evening for those people that attended, but they will also help with my art coursework which is on the topic of colour. The masquerade ball was the perfect place to get some bright, colourful images.”
