On Monday the academic and art scholars from the fourth year went on a trip to London, to participate in a workshop at The Wallace Collection, followed by a guided research task at The British Museum. The workshop focused on oil paintings by Gainsborough, Velasquez, Frans Hals and Rembrandt, respectively, and involved getting the scholars to sketch their own versions with Conté crayons. The scholars then enjoyed exploring The British Museum in small groups, choosing three objects to curate for an article in the next edition of the Scholars’ Newsletter. It was a great day out, and the ice-cream in Regent’s Park on the way home was well deserved.
