What's the story?
Become art detectives and study the painting for clues. Work out the story the artist is trying to tell and make up your own mind about its colourful cast of characters.
Students will learn how to tell a story through art by looking, questioning, imagining, and justifying their opinions. They will also get the chance to ask Gallery Educators their own questions and start to think about how noisy paintings can be by creating their own soundscapes!
Materials needed: Imagination only!
