For the second year running, we have taken our Year 8 Gifted and Talented students into Barnstaple to sample the creative delights of our town. Their day involved a drawing activity in the Museum of North Devon, Photography in the Pannier Market, Watercolour Painting on the River Taw and a visit to the fabulous White Moose Gallery on Trinity Street.

The students responded to the work of Marcus Lanyon and his huge outline drawings based on the theme of his exhibition – The Age of Panic. The photographs taken in this exhibition were simply brilliant! I would like to thank Stella Levy for being so accommodating.
