Exhibition visits and language or drama studies...

A visit to an art exhibition could be linked to coursework for language or drama studies. An art work could be used to provoke the development of poetry, prose or drama. Visual representations could spur students to develop writing that explores new characters, activities, places and ideas, emotions or moods.

Exhibition visits and history studies...

Visits to art museums and art galleries can be linked to formal courses in subjects other than art, design and craft. An exhibition of two-dimensional work depicting urban landscapes during a particular era could be linked to coursework for a history subject, or an exhibition of historical portraits could be linked to teaching that highlighted the importance of gender studies, biography and autobiography.
