What do portraits tell us about people, who they are and their characters? How do artists show differences between people and what they are feeling? Discuss who controls and creates images. How would you want to be seen in the future?
Format of the session
The museum led session is scheduled for 2 hours and is delivered in the first 60 minutes of your booked slot. We recommend that schools use their second hour for follow-up time from the taught session.
For a self-led (DIY) session (DIY resource) we recommend you spend up to one hour delivering your do-it-yourself session.
