Self Guided Resources

Child participating in workshop

Our free resources are theme-based and, alongside works of art from our collection, provide teaching strategies for you to use with your pupils in the galleries. As we do not know your pupils, or the specific aims of your visit, these ideas may need adapting, but we hope they will act as a useful starting point for group activities and new class projects.
