YEAR 9 NATIONAL GALLERY ART TRIP

60 Year 9s were invited to take part in the Art Trip to National Gallery on Friday 9th December. Students first explored the significance of this year's 'Fourth Plinth' sculpture at Trafalgar Square, before entering the gallery. In smaller groups, the year 9s then received a tour of the National Gallery from a Gallery tour guide. The guides were so thorough and engaging, delving deep into the Baroque period and encouraging students to re - enact and discover elements for themselves. The year 9s then explored the Gallery collection independently, making sketches and notes to help support their upcoming school project: Baroque: Re - Imagined. Well done to the Year 9s who attended for showing such a mature engagement with the historical artworks and working hard to make discoveries and connections!
