5 6 TATE SCHOOLS

Introduction At the centre of our schools programme are art works, artists, their practice and the gallery space. We believe that working alongside artists, surrounded by art, is an invaluable way of inspiring students and encouraging them to think creatively and independently.

The gallery as an alternative learning environment is an invaluable space full of challenges and possibilities. Tate sessions are designed to enable individuals to engage with art as a current cultural practice, to explore new ideas and to integrate new methods into their own art work.

The activities and resources offered in this brochure are devised in conjunction with the Tate Teachers programme. We recommend that you consider these activities to augment and support your student visits to the gallery.

We offer workshops and activities for all ages, from nursery up to art foundation.

Tate also offers a range of resources designed to support your visit and follow-on work for the classroom – turn to pages 34–5.

‘This has been a fantastic experience. The students thoroughly enjoyed the exciting, inspirational workshop. This offers so much more then a conventional educational school visit’
