Art Trip To St Ives.

For a school trip today for art the two classes in year 10, which is my year went to St Ives to visit the Barbara Hepworth museum and the Tate. So today's post is kind of like a diary entry about our day! Enjoy :)

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!

St Ives.

 Today's blog post is a short review on a harbour close to me called St Ives.

St Ives is a beautiful harbour in Cornwall, it is my favourite harbour where I live. In the holidays it is a big tourist attraction! It is full of holiday makers and you can't get to anywhere you want to go. But when they have all gone the fishing boats bob peacefully in the harbour and you can go relax on the beautiful beaches and have a ice cream. I love to wonder round the little streets and go into Cath Kiddston and look around in the surf shops. There are a lot of bakery's and food restaurants an amazing fish and chips restaurant called Harbour Fish & Chips. The food in there is amazing!
The beaches there are beautiful, especially in the summer, the water is clear and turquoise. Sometimes you can see the seals relaxing on the rocks which is awesome to see because you don't seals often in Cornwall (well I don't). In the evening St Ives is beautiful because the sea is all calm and still and the streets are quite and you can have a nice walk on the beach and watch the seals and skating in St Ives in the evenings is lovely!
