The reopening of the Ferens Art Gallery in January 2017 presented an opportunity for us to reimagine our offer for schools at the Art Gallery. Our new programme embraced new acquisitions to the collection (Lorenzetti’s Christ between Saints Paul and Peter), new audience focuses for the learning team (Under 5s) and Hull’s status as UK City of Culture 2017. We’d like to share with you how we approached our new programme, what we’ve learned and give you a taste of our school sessions through some practical activities.
