Important Information:

Luggage: Only one piece of small hand luggage is permitted ( a school rucksack is ideal). No other luggage may be brought (you will have to leave it at the airport!) Max size: 10kg with the maximum dimensions of 55x40x20cm. Remember that you will be carrying this with you on public transport and whilst walking long distances – hence no big suitcases! Liquids (shampoo, gels etc) must be in containers of 100 ml or less.

Insurance: Standard school cover applies (so personal property such as ipods etc are not covered) Please contact Mr Pellegrino at school if you need further details of cover: rosario.pellegrino@stgeorge.school.it You may wish to consult your own home policy to check cover for cameras etc.

Money: Students have all transport and museum fees covered plus their breakfast. They will need to bring money for lunches and evening meals during the stay. There will be some free time during the trip, but all students will be expected to be back at the hotel by 11.00 pm – nightclubbing is not on our itinerary!

Clothes/equipment: This is the Art expedition! Students should come dressed to walk and work (including outdoors!) Comfortable shoes and a waterproof coat are essential. Madrid can be very cold in February! Students should bring their current RWB with at least 20 sides prepared for drawing & writing. A range of pens, pencils, pastels and other drawing materials are essential as is a camera, preferably digital. Phone cameras are not really adequate in quality. No knives or scissors can be brought. Each student will produce 20 sides or more of visual and written research plus hundreds of photographs and possibly video footage during the trip and this will form the basis for the rest of their studio work in Art this year – so it has to be good!
