During the Half Term break (Monday 22nd - Friday 26th October), the Years 10 – Lower Sixth Art students travelled to the ‘Epicentre of Art’, New York City, to see some of the most dynamic contemporary art in the world.
The ever-evolving art and design scene is home to influential, modern art museums including the Guggenheim and MoMA, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and iconic sites including The Empire State Building, The 9/11 Memorial, Ellis and Liberty Island.
Natalie Christey (Upper Sixth) said: “Our visit to New York in the October Half Term proved to be an extremely valuable learning experience for us all. During our stay, we visited all the famous sites including the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building and of course, the iconic Times Square.
“We also visited one the world’s largest art galleries, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, where we spent time sketching pieces that relate back to our work in school. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and look forward to using the resources we collected to produce even more exciting art work.”
