Exhibitions this year range from charcoal drawings to life-sized paper sculptures; from caricatures to landscape photography; from etchings to portraits. To help teachers make full use of a class visit to the dli, regardless of the type of exhibition, Marie Neeson - art curator and education consultant - has designed "Open Your Eyes" - a resource pack for teachers specially written for Key Stages 1 & 2. This resource pack includes advice on planning a visit, pre-visit preparation and follow-up work in the classroom. With an Activity Book for Key Stage 1 and a range of Worksheets for Key Stage 2, "Open Your Eyes" also looks at cross-curricular opportunities that can be linked to an art gallery trip.
