Artist workshops

Hexagon artwork

Give your students the chance to work with a practising artist to explore our visual arts collections, learn artistic techniques and develop their own creative responses.

Our artist facilitator sessions combine engaging artistic skills with Philosophy for Children and Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) to inspire creativity and empower every student to form and reflect opinions on the visual arts.

During this session students become contemporary artists for themselves, exploring the galleries to develop ideas, discover materials and techniques and produce creative responses to take back to the classroom.

There’s no need for previous experience of contemporary or visual art. Our sessions give your students the skills and inspiration to explore the arts independently for many years to come.
