Unleash pupils’ Passion for Paint
What is the exhibition about?
The National Gallery touring exhibition ‘Passion for Paint’ focuses on the ways that artists have used paint. The pictures in the exhibition span several centuries, draw on different cultures and show various artistic representations of the world around us. The exhibition explores artists’ use of paint to create space, movement, sensation, emotion and personality. It includes spectacular paintings by Degas, Rembrandt, Gainsborough, Rubens and Turner.
Why should I bring my class to ‘Passion for Paint’?
The ‘Passion for Paint’ exhibition can be used to inspire children’s imagination and creativity along with developing questioning and investigation skills. The nature of the work encourages individual responses, discussion and debate, and is an ideal starting point for developing further work.
