Year 10 Art Trip to Rugby Art Gallery

This term we have taken our GCSE group to the local Rugby Art Gallery to get inspiration for their own work. 

We viewed the artwork in the floor one Gallery and the Balcony Gallery before heading the exhibition ‘A History of Rugby in 50 Objects.’ The exhibition is a ‘History of Rugby in 50 Objects’ charts a course through centuries of the borough's past, from a 200-million-year-old tree fossil to the town stocks.
The students had 20 minutes to view all the items, sketch one piece and then prepare a small presentation on what they had chosen and why. The students did so well, we saw presentations on a variety of items including Co-operative Women's Guild Rugby Region Banner from 1885 and a Viking ring found in Kings Newton.

All the students did really well, hopefully they can take some inspiration for their own GCSE work here at Harris.
