The discussion points are divided into four 'Ways of Seeing', different approaches to thinking about the work, which may in cases overlap. They are structured in terms of questions. Although there is plenty of information on the rest of the site, this will not always be necessary: the questions will help students to work with you to create their own responses and to decide what aspects they need to research further. Prompts, or suggested answers, are in brackets.

There are also suggestions for practical activities which could be adapted for both primary and secondary pupils.

Throughout these pages there are suggested links to other points of the site, which should enable your students to explore aspects of the work in more detail. They can also be used to investigate the way in which it relates to the other works in the In Focus display to which it gives its title.

While these pages form a self-contained way of using the website as the basis for discussion in the classroom, they could also be used as preparation for a visit to display itself - nothing can beat the experience of seeing a work of art in the flesh to get a proper understanding of its appearance.
