Our Year 11 Art and Design students went on an exciting, and strongly anticipated, trip to the Tate Modern.
They had a creative time exploring the gallery’s permanent displays, as well as two temporary exhibitions: ‘Capturing the Moment‘Ā and the Hyundai Commission ‘El Anatsui: Behind The Red Moon‘. The former explores the relationship between the brush and the lens, and how artists have turned to painting and photography to capture moments in time, and the latter explores elemental forces interwoven with human histories of power, oppression, dispersion and survival.
The trip was also an opportunity to practise photography around St Paul’s Cathedral and en route to the gallery. Students took photos, did sketches and explored ever surprising world of modern art.
Student Feedback:
