Louvre Trip Year 10-12 Art Students

As Year 11 Fine Art students investigated new artists to support them develop ideas for their final exam unit, Year 12 Students honed their painting skills ‘in the moment’, inspired by the Louvre’s current temporary exhibition on Impressionism, meanwhile, Year 10 Photography students were busy ‘capturing the moment’, observing the world around them.

Architecture is the current project focus for Year 10 Fine Art students who are exploring a range of art media, techniques and processes including painting, line drawing and digital media to inspire their own original artworks. Whilst other classes were ‘in the moment’, Year 10 Fine Artists were busy constructing it, learning about the Louvre’s phenomenal architectural design, they worked collaboratively in teams to rethink design elements into new and sculptural 3D forms…Exploring ways of seeing the world is an important part of creative thinking and innovation.

If all of the activities mentioned weren’t already enough, the Louvre decided to deliver another magical moment for our students, as they witnessed two new enormous turtles being introduced back into the sea, at the Louvre’s turtle sanctuary pool. A partnership between The National Aquarium, Environment Agency and the Louvre, has turtles reintroduced to the sea in a secure pool as part of their rehabilitation before they are released back into the wild.  What a moment, what a day…  Thanks to our brilliant students and the Louvre for making it so memorable!
