Useful Resources
To support your visit to the main gallery we have a range of Focus resources that provide background to an artwork on display with a suggested activity to help your students engage with the artist’s ideas and process.
For more information about the collection and ideas around curating your own we have A Collection of collections, a richly layered resource that prompts thinking around how artworks ended up at The Courtauld along with artist and illustrators’ suggestions for alternative collections and an invitation for you to devise your own.
