Talking paintings tours for Key Stages 3–5
Bring National Gallery paintings to life with a themed tour delivered by a Gallery educator (free for UK schools)
Talking paintings
Time in the Gallery will be spent discovering paintings that demonstrate the breadth of the collection in terms of time, subject, and technique.
Students will explore changes in painting techniques, styles and subject matter and consider how to look at and understand works of art. They will be encouraged to discuss the paintings in a lively and critical way.
Pupils will see a maximum of three paintings as part of their facilitated visit (please note that we cannot guarantee that you and your students will see a requested painting as part of your guided visit).
