Saatchi Art Gallery

The Art Department organised a trip to the Saatchi Art Gallery for gifted and talented year 9 students who would like to study GCSE Art, Photography or Textiles.

From defiant train writers to powerful large-scale muralists, students gathered a range of primary source images. The exhibition, supported by Adidas Originals, is the most comprehensive graffiti and street art exhibition to open in the UK. Following successful exhibitions in Los Angeles and New York, BEYOND THE STREETS LONDON features new works, large-scale installations, original ephemera and extraordinary fashion that capture the powerful impact of graffiti and street art across the world.

Each of the exhibition’s chapters explore exceptional moments in the history of this artistic movement; including the emergence of punk; the birth of hip-hop - marking its 50th anniversary in 2023; and street culture’s strong influence in fashion and film. Students were enriched with research and knowledge which will broaden their understanding of art.
