Art Trip to Venice 2016

Following our previous years' highly successful visits to Barcelona, Prague and New York, we recently organised another trip to Venice. It was open to all art students in Years 7-12. The trip took place during the half term holiday in February.

The themed activities on this trip were drawing, painting, architecture and studying the Venetian artists. Students were able to visit various galleries and museums around Venice. There was a study visit to the Peggy Guggenheim Art Gallery, the Academia Fine Art Gallery, St Marks' Square, the Doge's Palace, the Bridge of Sighs, the Rialto Bridge and a Venetian market place. The trip included sketching and painting, capturing works in the galleries as well as the Venetian architecture. We also visited glass blowing and mask-making workshops. Students learnt about the artworks of various Venetian craftsman and artists. Recreational time was spent sight-seeing in Venice and touring the canals on the public vaporetto boat, exploring the grand palaces and charming piazzas.

Please note that parents and visitors are welcome to attend the public viewing of our annual Art Show on Thursday 23rd June between 4-7pm, when much of our students' work will be on display.

Pupils have also enjoyed the classic "Sponge the Teacher" event and a visit to Santa’s Grotto, ensuring the festive atmosphere is matched only by the community’s generosity. Beyond the classroom activities, pupils have been sharing the festive spirit with the wider community. On 18th December, the SCD Senior Choir paid a special visit to Chorleywood Manor Care 久热福利一区. The residents were treated to a beautiful selection of Christmas carols, featuring performances by members of the Chamber Choir, Evensong Choir, and the Barbershop Choir. Year 12 pupils Immy and Chrissie noted that "it was a very joyful occasion and it was lovely to see the residents joining in and looking so happy."

Their enthusiasm have been the driving force behind this week's fundraising efforts. The week is set to conclude on Friday with the Grand Finale: the highly anticipated Sixth Form Revue, promising a spectacular end to a week of community, charity and celebration.
