4th and 5th Form Photography and 5th Form Art Trip to London Galleries

Last week the 4th and 5th Form photographers visited the Tate Modern to see their exhibition, The Radical Eye, which is a selection of images taken from the extensive private collection of Sir Elton John.

In the afternoon they visited the NPG and the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize.  The 5th Form artists spent the day at the Tate Modern visiting the Robert Rauschenburg exhibition and paintings and sculptures in the Tate collection.  This provided pupils with an excellent opportunity for information gathering and research in preparation for their external assignment which they have recently begun. For the 4th Form photographers it was an opportunity to do some live research for their project on portraiture. It was a glorious day and the photographers were able to take advantage of the weather and took many photographs as they walked along the South Bank between the Tate Modern and the NPG.
