About this session

This session takes place in the Samsung Digital Discovery Centre, in the Clore

Education Centre. Students use a mixture of digital technology (including laptops

and digital cameras), object handling, sorting skills, dressing up and question and

answer in order to look closely at clothes from a number of cultures around the

world.

In this session, students will investigate how and why people from past cultures

and in the present dress themselves differently depending on the purpose and

climate.

Session lasts 90 minutes and includes a gallery visit.

The Museum would very much appreciate it if students attending could wash and

dry their hands before the session to help conserve the handling objects. We also

recommend that students wash their hands after the session, particularly if they go

straight into their lunch break.

Session outline

• The session begins with a ‘circle time’ introduction, discussing what the students

are themselves wearing. They then handle and sort some different clothes, firstly

familiar then from other cultures.

• They then go on to use an interactive world map on the whiteboard to locate

where some of these clothes come from, and to see pictures of people wearing the

clothes.

• Next, the children go out into the galleries with digital cameras and take

photographs of clothes from other parts of the world.

• In the afternoon, they dress up in some clothes from different cultures, and are

photographed in front of a green screen. A background is later superimposed upon

the picture, and the finished images are posted out to your school.

• Also in the afternoon, students have a ‘free choice’ of digital and non-digital

activities, linked to the session topic. These may include games and activities on

the laptops or on paper, art activities, looking at books, or exploring the Museum’s

collection using the interactive whiteboard.
