We arrived in St Ives and walked down to the Tate and we split into our classes and went our separate ways. My class went to the Barbara Hepworth museum and the other class stayed at the Tate.
We had to walk up a really steep hill to get to her studio and my teacher kept taking us the wrong way. The weather was freezing and it even snowed a tiny tiny bit.
Once we arrived at the museum a lady who worked there told us all about Barbara Hepworth and how she died and her life story. She also took us on a tour and then we were left to look around ourselves and take photos and sketch. In her garden she had a greenhouse with some of her sculptures it. This part of the trip was my favourite because it was so pretty and I would love to have that as a place to read or to chill. It was so pretty.
I really enjoyed look at her sculptures and and seeing where she worked. I found it fascinating. Her garden was beautiful filled with her sculptures.
After we finished the museum we walked to the Tate and had lunch. When lunch was over we got split into our groups again. My group went on a tour of the Tate and the other went to Barbara's studio. The Tate tour was very boring, the man who guided us was very boring too. I only like some of photography in one of the gallery's. We were left for an hour to go around but we had already been on a tour so we used the free wifi and just sat and chatted. I spent most of my time at the Tate taking endless amounts of photos of the sea.
So that was my fun art trip of what I got up to blog post hope you enjoyed :) Here's some more photos that I took!
