On the 6th July we took the train from Axminster to Waterloo, to get a chance to soak up some urban culture and visit the Tate Modern and the newly refurbished National Portrait gallery. Students used the opportunity to find first hand and contextual references for their coursework project.

The skies were blue, the exhibitions were great and whilst this one is always a long day, it often provides the basis for brilliant ideas that evolve over the next five months.
