Embracing the creative arts, our GCSE Art and A Level Art and Photography students recently explored Tate Britain and Tate Modern. From timeless masterpieces to daring contemporary works, their visits promise to ignite creativity and develop their understanding of different artistic genres. GALLERY ADVENTURES: EXPLORING THE TATE MODERN AND TATE BRITAIN
“I found the trip to Tate Britain fun and enjoyable. I really enjoyed seeing Damien Hirst’s work as I had previously written my artist response on him and was surprised to see his work there.” - Ffion “I was so inspired by all the amazing artwork and especially liked the pieces by Turner.” - Gracie “I really enjoyed this trip. It was very interesting, my favourite part was seeing ‘Ophelia’ by John Everett Millais. It is such a beautiful painting and was definitely the highlight of my trip.” - Chloe “I was inspired by the different materials used to present the changing ideas of beauty. I particularly enjoyed the Sensoriam as it was interactive. It was a unique installation where we could use our sense of smell to get involved with the artwork.” - Saf
At the galleries, students encountered masterpieces by renowned artists like Turner and Waterhouse, as well as thought-provoking works by contemporary sculptors and the Young British Artists. Engaging in the tradition of sketching, students captured the essence of each artwork and found inspiration for their own creative endeavors. The trips not only provided invaluable primary source research but also ignited a deeper appreciation for artistic expression and the power of visual storytelling. As they return to the classroom, students are translating their experiences into exam preparations, drawing upon newfound insights and honing their skills.
