Pop-Up Journeys Teacher Pack

This Teacher Pack is inspired by the work of two artists – Sarah Bridgland and Sarah Morris. The aim of this pack is to provide the theme Pop-Up Journeys as inspiration for KS3 scheme of work or individual art lessons.

Pop-Up Journeys is a project devised by artist Sarah Bridgland in response to Sarah Morris’ Big Ben [2012] commission at Gloucester Road station. Morris painted a series of ‘portraits of the city of London’ places so they responded site-specifically to the station architecture.

Bridgland took ideas from this commission into nearby Holland Park School in 2012/13 and worked with students to produce a poster exhibition at Earl’s Court Underground station.

The project was delivered in partnership with ReachOutRCA, the outreach programme for the Royal College of Art.
