The National Gallery II course

 

This course comprises a series of seven two hour workshops culminating in a visit to the National Gallery. You will be introduced in each session to  key paintings from 1650 - 1850 displayed at the National Gallery, comparing contemporary paintings/artists. In groups, you will study and discuss the paintings in detail. Facilitated by your tutor, you will become your own expert on these paintings. Your knowledge and understanding will then be tested by a fun quiz trail at the National Gallery in the final week.
