Frieze Art Fair 2013
Pupils from Yr11 and 13 visited the Frieze Art Fair 2013 in Regents Park. We enjoyed fabulous sunshine as we drew from the sculptures in the sculpture garden. The theme was very reflective this year! Once inside the fair HB pupils experienced a global snap shot of contemporary art today. It was a rewarding day and pupils were able to resource different ideas and artists for their personal work in their coursework projects.
