attRAct challenges
These learning activities are designed to be used by young people inside or outside of the classroom. Each focuses on a theme found in our collection and the activities are designed to inspire young people to look more closely at works of art and, in doing so, to access new understandings of creativity, based on feeling, history, instinct, technique, and observation.
The RA’s attRAct programme is a free, year-long programme of workshops, tutorials, and advise sessions designed to encourage young people to develop their art making skills and to think and talk critically about art and the creative industries.
Under usual circumstances, attRAct students come together and undertake activities at the RA. Unable to meet during the height of the pandemic, attRAct students were presented with a series of creative challenges based on works in our collection. This set of resources emerged from this process.
