Year 9 GCSE Art Year 9 GCSE Art Students will visit Manchester Art Gallery on Tuesday 18 November. The students will be studying various art works including sculpture, painting and print, and will also spend time in an interactive space where they can create their own art work. The visit meets assessment objectives 1, 3 and 4 and is very important for students’ contextual study of artists’ work. We hope they have an enjoyable and informative day.
