Cornwall
Follow in the footsteps of Artists including Barbara Hepworth, Alfred Wallis, Ben Nicholson, Naum Gabo and Margaret Mellis through the spectacular town of St Ives on an Art and Photography tour to Cornwall.
The amazing and famous quality of light, the landscape, the cobbled streets and the Barbara Hepworth sculptures scattered throughout the town all make St Ives the perfect destination for a school Art tour. We can suggest several great viewpoints for sketching or painting outdoors.
Tate St Ives offers a great selection of workshops and sessions for schools, including a number of free, downloadable walking tours with one dedicated entirely to Ben Nicholson. St Ives walking or photography tours provide an overview of the town along with great places to practice a variety of photographic techniques.
Visiting the Barbara Hepworth Museum & Sculpture Garden in the heart of St Ives offers a remarkable insight into the work and outlook of one of Britain’s most important 20th Century artists. Offering great options for schools from gallery tours through to sculptural practice workshops it’s a must-do activity.
