Out of Art into Storytelling provides a unique opportunity for teachers to develop their skills and confidence in using paintings to engage and inspire their pupils' talk and writing.
The course begins with two taught days at the National Gallery in the autumn term where participants are led through a series of experiences which enable them to critically reflect upon the processes involved in facilitating looking and thinking, drama, oral storytelling and writing.
Participants have seven months to explore strategies with their pupils, in their classrooms and at the National Gallery. Teachers return to the Gallery in June to learn from each others' experiences and to gather further inspiration.
