Stories in Art

Key Stages 1 & 2

90-minute facilitated session

Cost: £130 per class (up to 32 pupils)

In this interactive workshop children will explore how paintings and other artefacts can communicate stories. Pupils will be encouraged to develop their imaginations as they translate the image to the spoken word. As they are introduced to the characters and plots of traditional myths and legends, pupils will have an opportunity to demonstrate their acting skills through performing in the gallery. Children will also have the opportunity to improve their own drawing skills as they are encouraged to make their own sketches in response to the artworks.
