ART VISITS PITT RIVERS MUSEUM<br />

On the 24th of January the Year 10 Art, Graphics and Photography students visited<br />

the Pitt Rivers Archaeological Museum in Oxford, which offers an impressive<br />

collection of artefacts, photographs and manuscripts from all over the world and<br />

from all periods of human existence.<br />

This was an excellent opportunity for students to enhance their GCSE coursework by<br />

drawing from primary resources, taking photographs and gathering information. The<br />

museum collections include jewellery, amulets, masks, weaponry and even shrunken<br />

heads!<br />

It was wonderful to witness students understanding how important it is to study objects<br />

and artefacts firsthand and to experience and explore the environment they now belong<br />

to.<br />

The Art department look forward to seeing how the students respond to this wonderful<br />

place through their sketchbooks, designs and photographs.<br />
