This Insight Day for pupils in Year 12 or 13 is hosted by the University of Manchester's Art History and Visual Studies Department and the Whitworth Gallery. The event will be an opportunity for Sixth Form students to gain an insight into HE study, to get a behind-the-scenes look at a gallery and to hone interpretation skills.

The day will entail:

  • An introduction to how Art History and Visual Studies is studied at university
  • A taster lecture on how to interpret artworks, specialising on portraits
  • An opportunity to meet current Art History undergraduate students
  • Activities in the Whitworth Gallery, which will include an art interpretation workshop using the techniques learnt in the taster lecture and activities with gallery staff (curators and/or conservators)

Attendance is free of charge, but booking is essential.

How to book: Students can either attend on their own or as part of a teacher-led group. For further details and booking links, please refer to our outreach website (click on Art History events): www.alc.manchester.ac.uk/connect/schools/outreach/
