On Wednesday, 26 November, Form 5 students from St Margaret College, Cospicua Secondary school, accompanied by Brian Chircop (head of Department, Social Studies) and Charmaine Zammit (head of Department, Art & Design) visited the National Museum of Fine Arts in Valletta. On entering the museum, the students were welcomed and introduced to the concept of Muza by the curator Katia Micallef, who later on invited them to give their feedback.

Afterwards, the students were split into groups and assigned tasks to explore the museum collection on their own. The tasks involved a cross-curricular approach amalgamating Social Studies and Art, guiding the students to attain inspiration from the museum collection and the social issue theme of Gender stereotypes. 

The students were encouraged to observe, appreciate, discuss, take photos and make interpretations through written notes and sketches of the artworks they chose in relation to the issue of Gender stereotypes. Later on, each group collaborated to attach the resulting sketches and annotations to charts, which currently hang in the Cospicua Secondary school, serving as an inspiration for students, the school staff and school visitors, both about the social issue of Gender stereotypes and about the collection at the National Museum of Fine Arts.

Furthermore, the Art Option students were asked to evaluate the charts and consider them as a starting point for the creative process, leading to the development and realization of artworks under the theme Challenging Gender Stereotypes.
