FINE ART PARIS

Iconic paintings and world-famous landmarks were viewed by A Level Fine Art students from KGV as they visited Paris. The students saw first-hand famous sculptures and paintings including Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and works by Manet, Monet, and Picasso. Visiting a range of renowned galleries and museums, from the classical and antique collections of the Louvre, to the shimmering impressionism of the Musée d’Orsay and the celebrated post modernism of the Pompidou museum they viewed a number of iconic artworks.

The students also had the opportunity to experience the Parisian life travelling by Métro as well as on foot and enjoying food in exciting cafés and brasseries in the left bank and the Latin Quarter as well as enjoying the beauty of the stunning Parisian skyline, the Boulevard St Michel and the Eiffel Tower.

Theory into practise

The trip to Paris was a brilliant opportunity for A Level Fine Art students to engage with some of the world’s greatest works for art. Experiencing the artworks first hand in galleries is a vital part of the Fine Art course and can provide knowledge and inspiration for the students own work.
