A few weeks ago, a group of Hampton High students began an exciting project

exploring how art and science can inspire one another, starting with a visit to Orleans

House Gallery to see works by J.M.W. Turner alongside contemporary artist Libby

Heaney.

 

This week, the journey continued at the Physics Department at Royal Holloway

University. Students explored the laboratories and took part in hands-on experiments,

discovering how scientific principles can spark creativity. “It was a fascinating and fun

experience that gave us a new appreciation for how science and art can work together

to help us understand the world in exciting ways!” said Aila and Audrey (Year 10).

 

The project now moves into the next stage, as students begin creating their own

artworks inspired by both the gallery and laboratory experiences. Working alongside the

resident artist, they are developing pieces that hopefully will be selected to be

exhibited at Orleans House Gallery, celebrating curiosity, collaboration, and the joy of

discovering new ideas together.
