It is on until Friday &#8211; up to 5pm each day. Go to reception at the Abingdon College, and they&#8217;ll give you a visitor&#8217;s badge and point you in the right direction.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abingdonblog.co.uk\/imag12\/12062001.jpg\" alt=\"Abingdon and Witney College Foundation Art Exhibition\" \/><br \/>\nThere is a great diversity of works. Each piece is surrounded by sketch books to show how the artistic ideas developed. This work is called Stalking the Stalkers and is a study of bird watchers at Otmoor on the other side of Oxford.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abingdonblog.co.uk\/imag12\/12062002.jpg\" alt=\"Abingdon and Witney College Foundation Art Exhibition\" \/><br \/>\nThis display was very impressive as were the sketch books.

They were the sticky back equivalent of nectar points.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abingdonblog.co.uk\/imag12\/12062011.jpg\" alt=\"Abingdon and Witney College Foundation Art Exhibition\" \/><br \/>\nWe did not get to see everything as in one room there was a special tea party for next year&#8217;s students. Their summer starter project is to design venetian style masks before going on a trip to Venice as part of an art field trip. It is a great course to do for anybody wanting to go on to degree level art. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This afternoon we went to the Abingdon and Witney College Foundation Art Exhibition.
