“I found the trip to the University of the Arts absolutely inspiring. There was a mass of incredible work that I would not have pictured in my dreams – it stretched from realism to abstract to so much more and I absolutely loved it!” (Chloe)
“I found the NUA trip very interesting. It was intriguing to see what their students had created and how creative they all were. I also found other courses that I was interested in that originally I didn’t know much about. I found it helpful as some of their piece have inspired me in my own work and take ideas that I wouldn’t have originally though of. Overall, I’m really glad I went on the trip as I found it interesting, fun and educational” (Isabelle)
“I really enjoyed my trip to this university’s art exhibition – there was lots of great artwork that I will draw inspiration from.” (Josh)
“I found this trip very beneficial and it gave me lots of insights into the kind of artwork I could go on to make. It was very inspiring and I particularly liked watching the students’ short films near the end of the day.” (Millie)
“I found the NUA trip incredibly informative and I really loved all of the work I saw. I will take inspiration from some of their pieces for my own work! I also found out more about courses that I didn’t previously know about and so I am glad I went as it was very helpful!” (Tabitha)
