The Tate Modern Course
This course comprises a series of seven two hour sessions culminating in a visit to Tate Modern. You will be introduced in each session to one of seven key paintings from different eras displayed at Tate Modern. 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 Modern in the final week.
