RWA Led Sessions
Schools Visits - RWA Led Sessions
Option 1: Introduction and short tour
We can offer your class and adult helpers a tour of the exhibition with our Learning and Participation Manager. These tours start with a welcome and short introduction, and then a look at specific artworks in detail. This is followed by drawing or collage in the gallery space. RWA can provide the materials for students to use to create a response to the work they have seen. Some suggested tasks may be offered for the remaining time in the gallery, which can be led by teachers.
Total cost for up to 1.5 hours: Free of charge
