Tate St Ives School Trip

The Education Department supports and enriches classroom practice through a variety of services and events, designed to extend knowledge and understanding of modern and contemporary art and to bring art into the lives of our visitors. Through encouraging pupils and teachers to engage with the different types of artwork on display, we wish to promote confidence in being in the gallery environment and self-confidence in personal interpretations of art.

Education at Tate St Ives offers a range of services for schools and colleges including the provision of free resources for a self directed visit, tailor made tours and artist-led practical sessions

We believe that working alongside

artists, surrounded by art works, is an invaluable way of encouraging students to think creatively and independently. Sessions are designed to enable individuals to engage with art as a current cultural practice, to explore new and challenging ideas, and to integrate new methods into their own work.
