The Tate Course

 

This course comprises a series of seven two hour sessions culminating in a visit to Tate Britain. You will be introduced in each session to one of seven key paintings from different eras displayed at Tate Britain. In groups, you will study and discuss the painting 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 Tate Britain in the final week.
