Barack Obama, Justin Timberlake, David Beckham … Where else than at Madame Tussauds Amsterdam can you stand face to face with all the stars of yesterday and today? Stars who have influenced our history and will colour our future! Madame Tussauds Amsterdam is the ideal destination for a school trip that’s not only informative but a whole lot of fun as well! Take a spectacular journey through time with your students. The journey starts in the Golden Age, with merchant Claas Janszoon telling you all about the glory days of the Dutch East India Company and introducing you to the most prominent people from the 17th century. After that, we leap through time to the present day. Nowhere else will you meet so many famous faces in one place. From movie stars to sports heroes, and from world leaders to national and international artists - Madame Tussauds has something for everyone! What’s more, Madame Tussauds has gone interactive. Try your hand at our celebrities’ jobs. Rule the country from the office of Prime Minister Balkenende, for example, or sneak into the painting next to the Mona Lisa. If you’re more of a fashion buff, then supermodel Doutzen Kroes is waiting for you to join her on the catwalk. Perhaps you prefer training your abs with David Beckham or practise your ball skills with no one less than Ronaldinho himself. Don’t forget your camera!

Many famous artists have painted self-portraits, including: Exercise 1 A self-portrait says a lot about a person. It also shows the fashions of the time, how people lived and can also tell us more about important events. The aim of this exercise is to encourage students to compare various self portra its with different interpretations. This should lea d to discussion s about the selected images. The clothin g, facial expression s, ges tures and foregrounds and backgrounds can reveal a lot about the per son in the painting. Ensure that, when viewing the portrait, students concentrate on the following aspects: Contents the per son and backgroun d depicted in the painti ng Shape layout and grouping of the objects How was the portrait mad e? materials, processes and techniques used Education pack Madame Tussauds Amsterdam - Version: Secondary School Teachers 9 Exercise 2 Create your own self-portrait!

Use a mirror when painting your self-portrait and remember to keep looking in the mirror as you work. How do you go about it? B Is your self-port ra it done?
