Lower Sixth Art Group Visit the Barbican

On Friday 24 November the Lower Sixth art group went to see the Basquiat exhibition at the Barbican centre. It was truly impactful and enabled the pupils to consider the influences on Basquiat using their knowledge gained from the weekly art history classes within their course. The pupils also considered how their own work could be developed from some of the ideas this renowned artist explored.

The pupils then spent the afternoon at the National Gallery where they had a whistle-stop-tour through the major periods in art history to inform the next steps in their history of art studies which forms part of their A Level art programme.
