Bookable session: Make creative and imaginative connections across rich themes in our collections
Explore how artists and artworks shape our world, express concepts, beliefs, and relationships. Find out about different art media and techniques and how artists employ line, shape, colour, texture, and composition to express ideas.
Through mindful visual examination, thoughtful conversation and shared discussion designed to foster your students playful and imaginative curiosity around art and artworks, we learn together to create Art Connections.
Choose from one of our themes:
- Portraits
- How to Read a Painting
- Landscapes

This is available as a museum educator led session.

Half the group will be taught by one of our museum teachers for the one hour. The other half of the group will explore the museum with your school staff using the self-led Art Connection starting points that accompany your chosen themed session. The groups will then swap for the second hour.
