Next we decided to go visit The Louvre Museum. It was so beautifully sunny outside that we almost didn't go in and sunbathed outside instead. However we decided to be good students and go educate ourselves. We all had different areas of the museum we wanted to visit, so split of in separate directions. I enjoyed walking around the galleries by myself, not thinking about where I was going and just getting lost. We were in there for hours! I found lots of amazing things that inspired me and drew a couple of sketches. I really enjoyed drawing the statue of Mary Magdalene and exploring her hair, as hair is a recurring theme in my work. I was also struck by the faces in an amazing oil painting by Sir Thomas Lawrence. They had such a beautiful innocent quality that I want to get across in my project work.
