Students tell us about their trip to Venice

Posted: 4th December 2024

Riyana and Sinead share their experiences of the October Venice Trip:

“During our October half term we spent a fabulous week in Venice, visiting the galleries, exhibitions, and monuments the city offered. We spent a majority of the day walking along canals, visiting new exhibitions, shopping and of course, indulging in the delicious food! My highlight of the trip was definitely visiting the Peggy Guggenheim Collection where we saw a range of sculptures and contemporary artwork she collected over the years. In her gardens they gave a talk about Peggy’s life and her views on the artwork displayed around her house. I absolutely loved this trip as it really gave me more insight into the world of art and photography.” Riyana Patel

“I’m really glad I managed to go on the Venice trip. It was an amazing opportunity to see many different artists and art styles and how they react so differently to the same prompt. The city itself was also stunning and allowed for many great photos to help with our work. There was also time for us to relax and explore the city ourselves, so overall it was an amazing trip!” Sinead O’Shea
