In this session:
- Explore our impressive collection of painted portraits in the Salon at Newstead Abbey and use them as a starting point for creative writing. Who were these people? What did they do all day? What were they like?
- Through a series of creative writing activities, pupils will create their own character, dress up and commission a portrait from a classmate.
- Create characters and narratives to develop the group’s knowledge and use of descriptive language.
- This session can be combined with a house tour, or another of our creative sessions to create a full day for your class.
