When we were there we looked around her garden and house and then we drew some of the sculptures. After that we walked to the Tate gallery and explored the art on display . We saw some modern art. It was very authentic and colourful. Whilst there we answered some questions about some of the art on display and drew some of the paintings. I liked the big stained glass window that you see as you go inside the gallery. After that we left the Tate and went to the seafront and we drew the great views. We could see the boats in the harbour and the Geevor Art Trip 2015 houses around. It was a good day and I learnt a lot about art. After a long journey we arrived at Leo Summers Geevor with great views of the sea. Year 7 As soon as we got there we started to do rough sketches of things around us. We then had a tour in a building with big metal structures and shaking tables. After that, our groups were split and half of us went down into the tin mine and the other half did some panning. Being underground was really fun even though it was a narrow tunnel. When we came out we swapped and we then did some more sketches and we then set off home after a great day.
