This resource is for blind and partially sighted young people, aged 11 years plus. It is designed to be an interesting and fun activity for at home and in the classroom. It provides a short and atmospheric introduction to Rembrandt’s life and work, giving the opportunity to explore some of his iconic self-portraits, etchings and paintings depicting his family and people within his household. It may be used to support the teaching and learning of art and art history in the National Curriculum, including studying artist’s lives, different media (etching and oil painting), subject matter and the genre of portrait painting and self-portraits.
The audio descriptions for each topic guide the fingers over the tactile picture and describe it in detail. Included in each track is an actor providing ‘Rembrandt’s voice’, and sharing dramatised atmospheric snapshots of insight into his life.
