On Thursday the Year 8 Art Scholars, Miss Dismorr and Mr Waters visited Oxford for a day of culture! Our first stop was the Ashmolean where we visited on the opening day of the new Andy Warhol exhibition. It was wonderful to see Warhol's work up close, especially as the exhibition displayed work spanning his whole career and was from a private collection, so rarely seen. This was followed by hot chocolate on the roof-top restaurant followed by a quick lunch opposite the Bodleian Library. The afternoon was spent in the Pitts Rivers Museum and the Natural History Museum where everyone enjoyed sketching a range of anthropological curios, (although I'm not sure anyone was brave enough to tackle the shrunken heads!)
