Free online workshop with The Courtauld Young People’s Programme
Suitable for ages 16-18, preference will be given to Y12 students (or equivalent)
Taking artist 脡douard Manet鈥檚 world famous painting as a starting point, we will work with art historian Tessa Carr and artist Toya Walker to consider how radically the Impressionists captured their experiences of modern life, and explore contemporary parallels to question what society means to us today.
We will explore aspects of the painting, from its materials and techniques, historical context and hidden meanings, by closely studying and discussing the painting within in The Courtauld Gallery.
Attendees will also view a new series of artworks co-produced by young people who worked with Jeremy Deller to explore the painting through sight, sound, smell and touch.
