The V&A Course

 

This course comprises a series of seven two hour workshops culminating in a visit to the Victoria and Albert Museum. You will be introduced in each session to  key sculptures and paintings  displayed at the V&A, where possible learning by making comparisons. In groups, you will study and discuss the sculptures and paintings in detail. Facilitated by your tutor, you will become your own expert on these sculptures and paintings. Your knowledge and understanding will then be tested by a fun quiz trail at the V&A in the final week.
