Jo Rhymer has over twenty years’ experience of teaching in prestigious gallery and museum learning departments including the National Gallery and Tate as well as leading tours in museums and galleries abroad. She is a freelance lecturer and teaches for the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Wallace Collection and is an accredited lecturer for The Arts Society.
Her areas of specialism are 19th and early 20th century French and British art. She is interested in the benefits of slow and close looking at paintings and has developed a guided, slow looking technique within gallery settings. Her teaching style encourages interaction, and when possible involves discussions in front of art. She welcomes students’ observations combined with the knowledge they bring to a session, which can open up new avenues for interpretation.
I am currently a freelance lecturer for the Victoria & Albert Museum for their short courses and diploma courses teaching 19th and early 20th century history of art.
I am currently a freelance lecturer for the Centre of Lifelong Learning at the University of York for their short courses and diploma courses teaching 19th and early 20th century history of art.
In April, 2019 I left employment in the Learning Department at York Art Gallery to pursue research and freelance teaching focusing on French Impressionism and its wide-ranging influences during the late 19th-, early 20th-century.
