Art Investigators
What stories can artworks tell us? Who painted these works and why? What techniques do artists use to frame their subjects and position their viewer? Does art always feature an accurate depiction of historical events? Should we trust art works to depict the truth?
We need you - to undertake the important role of art investigators. Drawing on the extensive TMAG collection, including iconic portraits, still lives and landscapes, discover techniques to interpret and appreciate art works. Can you uncover the story behind the artwork, will your discoveries provide a new perspective?

Duration: Onsite program – 1 hour. Live Digital Excursion - 30 minutes
Program available: Tuesdays and Wednesdays in Term 3 and 4.
