Year 10 Fine Art Students Find Inspiration at Tate Britain

Our Year 10 Fine Art students recently visited Tate Britain in London, where they explored the gallery as part of their coursework. The trip, designed to complement their studies, focused on key works of art that will serve as inspiration for their upcoming projects.

A major highlight of the visit was the chance to engage deeply with the works of Henry Moore, a renowned British sculptor. Moore’s sculptures are central to the students’ coursework, as they draw on his style for a sculpture project they are currently undertaking. The students soaked up the atmosphere in the galleries, taking the time to learn how to truly observe and analyse the art around them.

In addition to Moore’s sculptures, students also studied the horse paintings of George Stubbs, which proved particularly valuable. As students are working on capturing animal behaviour in their own mixed-media projects, Stubbs' detailed and expressive depictions of horses provided them with new techniques and inspiration for their work.

The trip not only enriched the students' 快猫视频ing of key artists but also enhanced their ability to analyse and interpret fine art in a way that will inform their creative process.
