Compton Verney is an independent national art gallery and ‘Capability’ Brown landscape located near Stratford-upon-Avon. They provide a fun and entertaining cultural day out for visitors of all ages and backgrounds – whether they have come to see our highly-acclaimed art exhibitions, to take part in our wide-ranging activities, or to enjoy the diverse features of our extensive historic landscape.
The children and young people from our Arc School Old Arley took a trip there last week as part of their GCSE Art research.
There was the opportunity to do lots of sketches of the environment and take part in different activities during the day. The visit was to support the young people with their GCSE Art coursework and Bronze Arts Award portfolios.
It was a lovely day and everyone enjoyed the beautiful scenery and artwork on display. It was a really inspirational trip and gave the children and young people lots of ideas for their projects.
