Children are encouraged to ask questions and to comment on what they see. The 'presentation' could more aptly be called a conversation.


"Every child was treated with courtesy, every opinion was valued, yet no-one was allowed to give an answer or an opinion without justifying it." 

Teacher, Durham, February '08.


Children are invited to copy the poses and the gestures of a painting. 


After an examination of virtuoso brushwork a child is invited to choose the correct artist's brush and to trace the marks on the screen - i.e. to dry paint a Matisse, a Monet, a van Gogh while paying full attention to direction and shape of marks – to be that painter for a brief moment.


Children ask each other questions ( sometimes using prompt words pinned next to the image )


One pupil directs the ' filming ' of a ' shot  ' based on the painting or sculpture.


The M.L. Tutor warns the class that one pupil will be blindfolded after the image has been discussed. The volunteer will then try to answer questions about the painting from the rest of the class.
