During the October half term, Fifth Form and Upper Sixth Art and Textiles pupils embarked on an unforgettable artistic adventure to Barcelona, the heart of Spanish surrealism and creativity. Their journey began at the Museum D’Art Contemporani, where they explored giant sculptures and immersive rooms that made them see art as a boundless, surreal space. Next, they visited the iconic Fundació Joan Miró, diving into the bold, minimalist world of the rebellious artist.
A highlight of the trip was the awe-inspiring Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudí’s masterpiece. With its eighteen towering spires and breathtaking stained-glass light, this still unfinished cathedral left everyone in awe. The adventure continued at Parc Güell, where pupils sketched the park’s flowing, organic shapes under the bright Barcelona sun.
In between cultural stops, the group enjoyed a sensory feast at the vibrant Food Market, hunted for treasures at the bustling Vintage Market, and captured the charm of the Gothic Quarter’s medieval alleys. This trip was a perfect mix of art, history, and culture, leaving everyone inspired and with memories that will last a lifetime.
