Albert Dock
Liverpool, Merseyside, L3 4BB England WEBSITE LINK: http://www.tate.org.uk/liverpool EMAIL ADDRESS: Jennifer.cawkwell@tate.org.uk CONTACT: 015 170 27443 School Trip & Group Educational Information Introduction for school trips and educational visits Tate Liverpool is the home of the National Collection of modern and contemporary art and shows world class exhibitions from the best artists from around the world. Our tour guides can bring famous works of art to life and the beautiful light filled galleries provide the perfect setting to inspire students to draw, learn and create. We also find the artworks can inspire discussions which are relevant to many other areas of the curriculum. Why is this venue great for School Trips and Educational Visits? Our location in Liverpool on the historic Albert Dock allows visitors to combine their visit with other attractions in the city and can be suitable to teach students about the history and regeneration of the city. Our qualified Artist Educators and information assistants can support the visit of students of all ages and we tailor our talks to the needs of the group. We also offer a comprehensive professional development programme for teachers to help support teaching in the classroom and to develop your own artistic practice. We show some of the best known and loved artworks and the contemporary environment offers great inspiration to young people. What does a typical school trip or educational visit include? Gallery Workshops Take an in-depth look at a current Tate Liverpool display or exhibition, or select a theme from the list below. Led by an artist, each workshop is designed to encourage pupils to develop personal responses, share ideas with their peers and develop critical skills to understand and enjoy modern and contemporary art. We encourage pupils to work in notebooks or sketchbooks to support further work in school. The following gallery workshops are available this term:
