Art Appreciation

What is ‘Art’?  Students will learn what to look for in art works to find meaning and gain understanding about what visual art is all about. Students will engage with art works in current exhibitions, questioning and forming their own opinions about what they see; gaining insight into an artist’s craft. This is followed by a fun hands-on art experience.

Please note: this programme relies on appropriate exhibitions being available at the time of booking. Please ensure contact is made with the Art educator before the day of the visit to ensure all learning needs will be met.
