KS4 and KS5 Art Students Experienced Contemporary Art

In January, the Art Department took 63 art students to the Tate Modern in London to experience contemporary art first hand. When we arrived, students were instantly taken back by the vastness of the gallery and the immense installation work within. We then explored the various themes of the collections within the Tate Modern, sketched from the artwork on display, and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere within the gallery which gave opportunity to pause, linger and talk about the works.

All in all, it was a very successful trip enabling many of our students to gain inspiration for their own artwork.
