Product Details

Studies have shown that visitors to art galleries spend an average of 8 seconds in front of each work of art.

In our “Take a closer look” sessions, we aim to pause and look in detail at only one or two paintings.

Prompted by questions in Spanish, you will analyse, inspect, dissect, and mindfully engage with the work.

Using our inherent powers of observation, we will look hawked-eyed for things that normally go unnoticed, such as composition, size and scale, colour, light, space, placement within the gallery, etc

You will become familiar with vocabulary to articulate what you see. Not only will you learn about artists and history, but you will also deepen your ability to perceive, and you will gain confidence describing and talking about art in Spanish.

On Saturday 10th December we will focus on two artworks that relate closely to the Christmas period: Jan Gossaert The Adoration of the Kings, and Geertgen tot Sint Jans The Nativity at Night.

This session is ideal for students with at least an A2 level of Spanish (equivalent to our Continuacion courses and above). It will be led by a native Spanish art historian and Spanish language teacher. Absolutely no knowledge of art is required.

We will meet on Saturday 10th December 2022 at 11am at the Sainsbury Wing entrance of the National Gallery (Trafalgar Square, London WC2N 5DN). Look for the Spanish House London logo.
