On Thursday 2nd and Friday 3rd of February, Year 10 went to the Ulster Museum with the Art Department. Students went on a gallery tour and saw paintings work by Strickland Lowry, Sir William Orpen, Edward McGuire and Frank Auerbach.
During the gallery tour, students learned more about the technique, style and lifestyles of the aforementioned artists. They studied these styles and attempted to replicate this in their own self portraits during the workshop. After the gallery tour, students visited the True Colours exhibition at the Museum.
Before heading home, all students visited the the Palm House in the Botanic Gardens. Many photographs were taken of the very unusual and exotic plants, in preparation for a Photoshop project in Art in the forthcoming weeks. They were particularly taken by a giant flowering plant that had a very unusual odour! They all had a great time and they enjoyed it very much.
