On Thursday 04 February, the Advanced Higher Graphics class visited Glasgow.
We departed from school at 08.00 hrs and travelled in the minibus to Kelvingrove, where the bus was parked for the day. We then spent an hour and a half in the museum before travelling in to the town centre on the underground.
Following lunch at three different venues – we couldn’t agree on a single one – we took a tour of the Lighthouse. We spent a considerable time on the sixth floor viewing deck, where several pupils tried out their Christmas presents – digital SLR cameras. Elsewhere in the Lighthouse there was the permanent Charles Rennie Mackintosh exhibition, as well as a room given over to work created by Strathclyde University architecture students.
From the Lighthouse, we walked up to Sauchiehall Street, to the Willow Tearooms, where we took afternoon tea. There followed free time, then a meal in TGI Fridays. The final activity of the day was a nostalgic viewing of Toy Story 2, in 3D, at Cineworld.
We retured by underground to Kelvingrove, then back to school by 22.15 hrs.
The photos in the slide show below were downloaded from my camera. Most were taken by Hazel.
