I Picture This: at home art packs bring art to your home. They encourage you look at a selection of paintings, think about them, and share your thoughts.

"It's like a book club for art..."

In a book club everybody reads the same book and then discusses it. Instead of reading a book, look at and discuss paintings. The packs are designed for discussion. There are no right or wrong answers when looking at art, and no background knowledge is necessary. The art packs can be reused many times. Different observations and conversations will take place each time you look!
