Two of our artistic Sixth Formers have been drawing inspiration from one of the UK’s best art galleries.

Year 13 students Michael Siscar and Stirling Horslen visited the Fitzwilliam Museum for a workshop with their fellow A Level Art, Craft and Design students and were so impressed that they arranged a second visit themselves.

Michael, who wants to become an illustrator, said: “I was keen to look at the Armoury and the new exhibitions and the modern art exhibition.

“I’m really eager to make lots of drawings at the exhibitions that I go to.

“I enjoy going to the Fitzwilliam Museum because it has fantastic resources and exhibitions that I am interested in.

“It inspires me and gives me lots of ideas for my artwork.”

Stirling added: “When we first visited the museum the staff told us about its Source programme during the holidays for students who are getting ready for exams.

“There is a great range of resources at the museum.”
