How to use paintings to engage all audiences particularly children and young people:
This gallery based course uses paintings from the collections at Norwich Castle to demonstrate how looking, imagining and questioning can encourage museum audiences to make a personal response to a piece of art work. Participants will experience practical gallery activities to inspire them to develop museum activities using a painting as a starting point.
No art history or specialist knowledge is needed, just imagination, creativity and adaptability!
Outcomes
By the end of the course participants will:
- Feel more confident in leading questioning and investigative experiences from a painting.
- Have experienced practical gallery based activities that make meaningful connections with art works.
- Have a range of new ideas about how to use paintings in their own setting more effectively.
Refreshments will be provided on arrival but please make your own arrangements for lunch. We expect the extensive work on the Castle keep will have started and during this time there is a small pop up cafe at the museum or in Norwich city centre if you prefer. The museum’s doors will open at 10 am, please aim to arrive from 10.00am for a 10.30am start.
