Class members are presented with the image of a painting and asked to record their first impressions and analysis. They then research the time period in which it was painted and discuss how their research impacted their first impression of the work. After a member of the museum staff provides background information about the piece, pupils discuss how their initial analysis compares to their current understanding.
