Inspiration washed over 32 Year 11 - Upper Sixth artists and photographers as they embarked on their annual Tate to Tate trip with the Art Department on Tuesday 6 February. This trip isn't just a sight-seeing excursion; it is a sensory immersion into the world of art which enriches their understanding and emphasises the importance of art in society. It is also a great opportunity to spark new ideas for their own personal projects. The girls visited all the permanent exhibitions in both galleries, captured first-hand sources through photography and drawing whilst cruising down the Thames and exploring London Borough Market.
Rosa (U6CSK) reflects on the trip below:
The day began at Tate Britain, where the powerful Women in Revolt! exhibition ignited our creativity. We studied a range of paintings, prints and photographs, each showing how women used their art to fuel the women’s liberation movement during a period of significant social, economic and political change. We all felt very inspired by the unique and impactful works which were truly eye-opening.
From Tate Britain, we took the boat across the Thames and explored Borough Market. The bustling market, with its vibrant sights and sounds, allowed us to gather inspiration for our new projects.
Later, at Tate Modern, the Capturing the Moment exhibition presented a treasure trove of masterpieces. Picasso's dynamic lines and Hockney's vibrant poolside scenes provided fresh perspectives on capturing movement and emotion.
The trip was a great opportunity to spark creativity and come up with new ideas for our portfolios. We all really enjoyed the trip and hope to have the privilege to visit another gallery soon.
