Students explore visual language through guided analysis of original artworks. This analysis is used as the inspiration for experimenting with written language, which students then begin to craft into a piece of writing.

Included are resources related to the facilitated programme, worksheets and activities for independent learning in the Gallery, and teacher-created resources relating to creative writing in a gallery context.

For more information please visit the programme page.

For Information about other facilitated programmes, and how to book, please visit the Secondary learning page.
