York Art Gallery Charms Mount Year 10s
Creativity flows through the heart of our school, with consistently high results (majority A*s and As) in Art at GCSE and A Level. Education at The Mount often extends beyond the classroom, as we encourage our pupils to venture out into the world to explore their interests.
On 12 June, Mrs. Milton took Year 10 on a trip to York Art Gallery, to see the Harland Miller: XXX exhibition. Harland Miller is a Yorkshire-born artist and writer working in London. He is renowned for his pop-art style, particularly in the form of large-scale paintings emulating Penguin book covers, displaying satirical messages. Miller uses dynamic colour schemes in oil paint and bold fonts to make his works so eye-catching.
The trip provided the talented artists of Year 10 with inspiration for their own artwork, as some of them develop their GCSE coursework projects. Art at The Mount encapsulates a range of different forms from a variety of cultures and eras, to give our pupils the breadth to discover their niche.
We hope Year 10 enjoyed their end of term celebration trip and look forward to encouraging future artistic endeavours.
