The Pre-U Art pupils spent five days during Exeat (15 to 20 October) in Los Angeles visiting the Getty Centre, Los Angeles County museum of Art, the Broad and the Museum of Contemporary Art. The pupils and teachers also took the opportunity to sketch and capture the amazing changes in light as well as observe the cinematic and literary connections within an often shifting post-modern media landscape. The pupils went armed with the titles: Facade, Hyper-real, Superficial, Polarities, Decadence, Escapism, Dystopia, Illusion, Paradise, Staged, Glamour, Noir, Light and Dark, Aspiration and Dream.
