This self-led resource series supports your students to engage with art at Tate through creative activities. Devised by contemporary artists in collaboration with the Schools & Teachers team, each worksheet explores creative ideas such as motifs, self-expression, performance, text, and much more.
They can be used independently throughout the permanent collection displays at Tate, in response to any artwork you discover. Using your expertise, you can adapt the activities to meet your students’ needs, and even apply them to your classroom syllabus. The worksheets encourage curiosity, imagination, and open-mindedness – there are no wrong answers!
