Thematic visits for secondary level students
The goal of thematic visits for secondary level students is to introduce young people to interpreting works of art. Visits are designed to enable them to become familiar with, understand and enjoy art. This is an opportunity for them to formulate their opinion of and to analyse their reactions to various forms of artistic expression. To stimulate the students’ interest and develop their independence, each visit includes periods of unguided exploration, during which they work with a sheet of educational exercises.
