Drawing inspiration from our Bridge
Drawing inspiration from our Bridge! Since the beginning of the year, the Bridge Team have been building an amazing working relationship with Coleg Gwent. From Illustration and Photography courses through to the Performing Arts, the students are already creatively helping to bring our iconic Bridge to life! This week, a contingent of brave students from the Foundation Degree Illustration Course descended upon us and ascended the Bridge, working on an exciting brief to create a series of eight illustrations representing key wildlife species found around the structure and River Usk below. Species will include salmon, common sandpiper, black-headed gull and otter, each including elements or views of the bridge, depending on the individual species’ habitat. Course Leader Kelly Rogers says: “Our Foundation Degree Illustration learners are excited to be working on a live brief for the Newport Transporter Bridge Project. We hope this artwork will aid public awareness of the bridge
