What is a Portrait?

https://www.nationalgallery.ie/site...rait%20Resource%20for%20Schools.pdf Added: 26 Feb 2020 Contributor: National Gallery of Ireland Resource type: Guide/notes / Tool / Primary Source / Worksheet / Activity

People and portraits are at the heart of the Gallery’s collection. This schools resource has been designed as both an introduction to portraiture and an in-depth exploration of key works in the National Portrait Collection. Primary and Post-Primary teachers can use it as a starting point for tailored lesson plans and all activities are adaptable for different ages and abilities. Looking and responding questions underpin the resource and enable students to develop visual literacy and critical thinking skills. Each portrait is accompanied by suggested activities that allow for creative practical exploration of the work and encourage students to further develop their understanding of the diversity of portraiture.
In 2019 we launched the Zurich Young Portrait Prize, an inclusive art competition for children and young people, up to the age of 18, of all abilities, from across the island of Ireland. We hope this resource will provide inspiration and ideas for your students to enter the Prize.
