Students will embark on a guided tour of the museum art galleries, drawing on 4 key pieces of art, pupils will learn what hidden messages a painting can hold and what stories the artists could be trying to tell us. In collaboration with our exhibitions and arts coordinator or freelance artist, students will have the opportunity to create a piece of work that links with their scheme of work.

Collection Accession
In this half day session, students will learn the skills of being a historian. Whilst given an array of eccentric artefacts from the museum’s collection, students will have to think critically as to how it is used, what it could be, what period of history could it be from?
Students can then carry out still life sketching session on the artefacts that they’ve been learning about or use the gallery spaces to do some live sketching.
