James Turrell at the Pace Gallery

London is very privileged to be hosting a free show of James Turrell's light installations. The works incorporate beautiful and ephemeral use of light and colour, unitising space and technology in their making. James Turrell is an American artist that takes inspiration from Quaker Meeting Houses and creates wonderfully atmospheric spaces that encourage contemplation and tranquility. If you see one show this year, make it this one!

Visit to the Photographer's Gallery

A Level Photography students enjoyed a visit to The Photographer's Gallery near Oxford Circus. Observing the work of David Lynch, Andy Warhol and William Burroughs gave students the opportunity to consider camera techniques, presentation skills and subject matter that may impact on the development of their exam brief. Students also experienced the gallery's own Camera Obscura and interacted with pioneering digital media. This vista was followed up with a stroll down Cork Street, visiting smaller galleries with a wide range of artworks of varying disciplines.

Tate Britain Visit

Examination students had an enriching visit to the Tate Britain where they studied the wonderful works of British artists from the 16th century until now. Having the opportunity to study artwork up close and not through a computer screen is tremendously important as scale, texture, detail and colour can clearly be studied and considered. Students took this opportunity to aid the development of ideas for newly set exam themes.
