Pupils and parents of Jubilee and Lauriston Primary Schools explored London's cultural delights, and used this website to write about their experience, and share photographs of the city and their life.

Why why why have I never been to watch a Shakespeare play??..  Isn't it a wonderful thing to learn new things about our old English language even at my ripe old age !!!  Well I'm sure  this is the start of something new so thank you ABC.

The Saatchi Gallery

Written by Katie Richardson | 05 January 2010



Hello!
I recently visited the Saatchi gallery for the first time. I would not describe myself as an very experienced or educated art critic but I am slowly learning, since moving to London. Having visited the main galleries in Trafalgar sq this gallery was recommended by a colleague and did not dissapoint. I loved the abstract constructions and symmetrical American art work on the top floor and would definently visit again due to the free and exciting feel of the gallery.

I took a pick and mix sweet selection and spent a couple of hours perusing the artwork, I left feeling eduatced and inspired and would definently recommend a visit.

"I think what i have learnt the most about this project is.......wait for it....is SELF BELIEF. If an artist or anyone, writes, sings, dances or sculpts etc and believes they have done a good job, well thats all that matters....i have doubted myself in the past, lacked believing in myself and what i can achieve....”

"We have decided to take Ryan and Naombh somewhere at least once a month and have figured that with our children its best sometimes just to get on a bus or tube and just see what's going on ,sort of exposing them to the arts accidentally there is so much to see and do"
