Following on from our successful Reworking Manet exhibition, we wish to invite state school teachers and educational group leads to the teachers launch of Sense of Self: Live Brief.
Sense of Self asks students to research and engage with Van Gogh’s famous ‘Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear’ and artworks by contemporary artist Rachel Jones to create exciting responses to Van Gogh’s portrait. Selected artwork will go on displayed in The Courtauld Gallery and online between Oct 2025 – Feb 2026.
Using our resources we are keen for teachers to launch Sense of Self within their classroom and this online session aims to provide information and guidance on how to lead this project.
The project is open to all UK based state schools and we encourage a wide range of subject areas to give involved.
We have a fantastic team of artists and art historians who are able to launch the live brief to your students. Sessions can be delivered online, at the gallery, or in-school/college.
If you are interested in this project but can’t attend this session, or would like to book in an introduction workshop, let us know by contacting education: education@courtauld.ac.uk
