Pupils saw work that was thought provoking and at times perplexing to stimulate that create thought process required in this subject. Gaining valuable primary source photographs and sketches to form part of their GCSE course work. 

At the Saatchi pupils saw artworks at the cutting edge of contemporary art. The exhibition Know Unknowns featured work from a variety of different artists with the overarching theme of their exploration of concepts about modern life and our existence.
