 Gallery Sessions for SEN Adult Groups


Supported by the Vodafone UK Foundation

These sessions are particularly suitable for adult groups with learning difficulties and groups with mental health problems. Taught by experienced art educators, these practical art sessions explore Pose, Character, Expression, Colour and Symbols in portraiture using painting and sculpture. We welcome the opportunity to tailor-make a session with you.

The sessions take place in front of the Gallery's portraits. All sessions last 1 1/2 hours. We provide all the materials needed for practical activities in the Gallery.
The maximum group size is 10 people (plus support workers).

Choose from the following areas:

What's in a Portrait?
Using practical art activities groups will explore the elements of portraiture.

3D Objects
Combines discussion of the works on display with practical hands-on activities. Using the collection as inspiration, participants are able to develop ideas and create their own sculptures.
