Students from the innovative West Midlands Construction University Technical College (WMCUTC), a new school specialising in construction and the Application of IT in the Built Environment, are exhibiting etchings, pen and ink drawings and photography at the Lichfield Street gallery until Tuesday 23 May.
Among images on show are 2 copies of pen and ink drawings of the college's Springfield Brewery campus created by Year 10 students. The detailed drawings were presented to the HRH Duke of Gloucester and Lord Baker at the college's recent official opening.
Other pieces include highly detailed and photorealistic hand drawn pencil portraits and large photography pieces on display. The work of Year 10 photography students records the sense of place with shots of the listed Springfield Brewery campus.
The exhibition is part of the gallery's Young Artists programme, which celebrates the work of students from various schools across the city.
Councillor John Reynolds, City of Wolverhampton Council Cabinet Member for City Economy, said: "The standard of work in this showcase is extremely high and well worth celebrating. Well done to all the students taking part and good luck in their future endeavours."
The exhibition is in the Sense and Sculpture gallery on the first floor of the gallery.
WMCUTC is a new school, which specialises in construction and the application of IT in the Built Environment providing high quality technical education for 14 to 19 year olds.
Students can follow three pathways in the school - design, build or innovate.
Design students look to careers such as architecture, interior design, town planning and landscape design, although all students, whether aiming to become civil engineers or software developers, study a core curriculum including a design element.
