The Photographers' Gallery Year 11 Photography trip

Tuesday 21st January

The Photographers' Gallery

Year 11 visited The Photographers' Gallery in central London as part of their final GCSE project. We visited several exhibitions, including work from Deborah Turbeville and Life, Love and Death in Sicily by Letizia Battaglia.

Street photography

Students also had the opportunity to take photos in response to their new project theme, 'Gathering'. Students practised street photography, taking photos of people, buildings and objects arranged in the windows of shops.

Next Steps

In lessons, students have been adding the photos taken during the visit to their sketchbook. In the subsequent lessons we have been experimenting with these photos to create different compositions in response to the theme.
