Tuesday - Indigo Team Visit to Tate Modern!


Today was our second day at the Kings Langley gifted and talented summer school.


When every one had arrived at the school, we set off in a coach for London to see the Tate Modern Art Collection which was very exciting for everyone! The journey was not very long and the traffic was good. No one knew what to expect. Especially how BIG it was!


Our task was two draw at least two different pictures by two different artists in sketch books we were given. We also had two write a little bit about the painting (the history of the artist.) We found some very easy pictures like Eve which looks like and red back ground and a purple strip on the right hand side of the canvas. That was the very easy one!


After our trip around the Tate modern we stopped and had lunch and visited the shop which had every thing you could think of from books to table mats!


Outside the Tate Modern there are five MASSIVE pictures on the wall out side and they are only there for a short period of time, so we were lucky to see them! In the court yard there was a shelter that looked like an old bomb shelter from the outside, but in side it is covered with people’s graffiti and people leaving notes to there friends. Then we had the trip home where every one drew in their sketch books.


I hope every one has as much fun (or even more!) tomorrow when we are doing some thing different!
