Art Gallery

Posted: 20/06/2017

Year 8 enjoyed a visit to a hidden jewel in the Midlands - Walsall Art Gallery. This is not where you would expect to find Pissaro’s, Epstein’s, Tift’s and many more famously celebrated artists’ works from around the world, however the eclectic mix of modern and traditional paintings, sculptures, photographs and many more engaged the pupils entirely.

Our Year 8s found themselves in the curated space of artist, Rachel Goodyear. Her work is modern, vibrant, challenging and highly skilled and this made our Year 8s question the artwork, why it is made, why we use different materials and how the gallery space helps to discuss the art work on show. We all agree - the place is definitely worth a visit in the summer when you have a spare afternoon.
