GCSE Art trip to Paris

Last weekend Mrs Pearson and Mr Vale accompanied the Eldmire Art group to Paris for their GCSE Art trip.  The trip proved to be both busy and inspiring. Amongst the many attractions that we saw was the Musée du Louvre.  The evening atmosphere of Paris was wonderful and the pupils were excited to see the Mona Lisa.  The following day we went to the Musée de l’Art Moderne and then on to the Pompidou Centre where the group’s eyes were opened to some of the more challenging conceptual art.   A trip down the river provided us with an excellent opportunity to see the sights and learn more about the history of Paris, including the Revolution and the bridges over the Seine.  For many, the highlight of the trip was seeing the collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces found in the Musée D’Orsay.  A wander through the Tuileries Gardens back to the airport was also a perfect ending to a memorable trip.
