Bromley College Art Students Showcase Work at London Zoo

For the second year running, Art and Design students at Bromley Campus have had the fantastic opportunity to exhibit their work at London Zoo as part of a live brief set by ZSL (Zoological Society of London).

This year's project celebrated ZSL's 200th anniversary, with students exploring the rich history of the organisation through its animals, stories, spaces, people, and conservation achievements. Drawing inspiration from visits to the zoo and their own research, students produced a diverse range of creative responses using a variety of artistic disciplines and techniques. The exhibition provided students with the valuable experience of working to a professional brief and showcasing their work in a public setting. A particular highlight was the judging panel, made up of ZSL staff and affiliated artists, who selected first-place and runner-up winners from each year group. The awards recognised outstanding creativity, technical skill, and engagement with the brief. The continued partnership between ZSL and the Art and Design Department at Bromley Campus reflects the high standard of work produced by our students and our commitment to providing meaningful, real-world learning opportunities.

We are incredibly proud of all the students who took part and would like to thank ZSL and London Zoo for their ongoing support. Congratulations to our exhibiting students and award winners on this wonderful achievement!

Following the success of this collaboration, we are excited to be working with ZSL London Zoo again this year, continuing to provide students with meaningful live briefs that combine creative practice, real-world relevance, and skill development.

As part of a live collaborative brief delivered by ZSL London Zoo, all Art students took part in a major project focused on the conservation work ZSL undertakes to protect wildlife and endangered species.

Students researched ZSL’s global conservation programmes and education initiatives, and produced an artwork designed to communicate the importance of conservation to a public audience. The brief encouraged students to think about how art can function as a tool for advocacy, education, and social responsibility, while developing their own creative voice.

The project culminated in an onsite exhibition at London Zoo, giving students the experience of presenting their work in a professional, real-world context. Through this process, students demonstrated key creative and professional skills, including research, idea development, visual communication, professionalism, and reflection.

These skills are recognised through our digital skills badges, which celebrate participation, creative risk-taking, and engagement with live briefs, alongside formal assessment. All students took part in the project, and prizes were awarded in each year group for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, recognising particularly strong responses to the conservation brief.
