Explore: Connect: Create This is our creative offer to schools and colleges. Using our changing gallery

programme, museum displays and collections as a stimulus, pupils are

given opportunities to respond through creative activities and discussions.

From developing sketchbooks to print-making to creating mini-

museums we can work with teachers and lecturers to create an engaging

experience at the museum.

KS2–KS4 Programme

These creative sessions developed for schools and groups are centred around our temporary exhibitions displayed in the main gallery. During the session participants will be encouraged to look at the art work in a more critical way, identifying the differing art styles, whilst also developing their own artistic opinions. This will be drawn out through group discussions and hands-on art activities. The format is adaptable across the age groups and links to the curriculum from KS1-KS4. We can also offer sketch book making activities and drawing exercises which are designed to support and develop art skills. Curriculum Link Art: evaluate and analyse creative works English: listening, discussing and expressing views
