Why arrange an art school trip?
Immerse them in art
For students who are developing their knowledge and understanding of art, a school art trip offers them the exciting opportunity to learn more about art history and the important role that art plays in wider culture.
They’ll be able to see famous works of art for themselves and develop their independent judgements and personal reflections on art. And they’ll also learn more about how historical and social context is important in terms of understanding a piece of art.
Art school trips also allow students to learn more about how different genres and styles developed. You can even be able to focus on how one particular artist developed over their career, finding out how their style and subjects were influenced by what was happening around them.
For example, in Amsterdam, you can visit museums dedicated to the life and works of Van Gogh and Rembrandt, and in Paris, you can visit museums dedicated to Dalí, Picasso and Rodin.
Inspire them
On your trip, students will have the incredible opportunity to better understand what influenced and inspired other artists will help them to better understand what inspires them.
Learning about what inspired and influenced other artists can help students to better understand what inspires and influences them as artists. Are they inspired by the environment in which they live? Are they inspired by world events and how they affect themselves or their family?
They’ll also discover new styles and perhaps even new media to work with. For example, in Barcelona they’ll see how architecture can be a form of artistic expression, in New York they can learn about photography, and in Liverpool, they can learn about digital culture and creative technologies. In short, your trip will help develop your students’ understanding of the possibilities available to them.
