Artworks, objects and exhibitions can spark questions, conversations and new ways of thinking. Through visits to museums, galleries and cultural sites, students explore culture, identity, heritage and contemporary issues through direct experience, discussion and response.

​

Students observe, discuss and interpret what they encounter, considering how different people might understand and respond to the same artwork, object or place. They then create and share their own responses through storytelling, creative writing, drawing, photography, discussion and performance, using arts and culture as a starting point for their own ideas and interpretations.

​

Along the way, students develop curiosity, critical thinking and cultural awareness as they explore different perspectives and reflect on their own interpretations. Schools can choose from existing Ways of Seeing programmes developed around specific museums, collections and exhibitions, or work with FrameShift to create a bespoke experience linked to a particular theme, artist, exhibition or curriculum area.
