Choose one from the following:

Make

Learn how artists, architects and makers build, shape and create. Working alongside a professional artist-maker, pupils will learn new practical art skills and ways to communicate their ideas. Choose from printmaking, textiles or construction.

 Draw

This playful, hands-on workshop encourages pupils to express what they think, feel and see through drawing – just like the artists in our collection. They’ll explore a range of drawing techniques in pen, pencil and pixel, using both familiar and unfamiliar materials to respond and record what they observe and encounter.

Digital

From pencil to pixel, pupils can develop IT skills and explore the gallery through digital technologies. Choose from digital collage, photography and animation.

SEN Groups

Tailored to your group’s specific needs, this interactive tour of the gallery responds to our current exhibitions and displays, as well as our different spaces – both inside and outside. Pupils can experience the gallery in a multi-sensory way.
