Sixth Form London Gallery Trip

It was a long but worthwhile day when the Year 12 and 13 artists and photographers ventured to London on 17th November accompanied by Mrs Everson and Mr Abelson to visit various London art galleries. On a day that started early and finished late they visited four galleries, Tate Britain, The National Gallery, The National Portrait Gallery, where they visited the recently opened Taylor Wessing 2017 Portrait Competition exhibition, and The Saatchi Gallery where there was an eye-opening exhibition of Russian modern art. It was agreed that over the course of the day they had all seen some interesting work, some of which they liked more than others but all agreed that they had been engaged by their intense day of capital culture and we returned tired but inspired to Birmingham.
