It has become a tradition to show Terminale Italian-learning pupils the permanent exhibition of the Estorick Collection in Islington.

This year, they focused on the theme of Art & Power vs. the Power of Art as it is part of the curriculum.

Futurism, as an artistic and literary movement, offers many angles for ideas and debates about the artists' ideology connected with the power of words and of movement in art.

The students took part in a workshop about onomatopoeia: the workshop leader, an art expert, insisted on the revolutionary idea of the Futuristic movement to have works of art express themselves using words, symbols and movement.
