Artist Class Name

Why not name your class after a famous artist - so instead of Year 5 it could be Class Degas! The class can then research their namesake and present the biog and career of the artist to the rest of the school.

Schools resource directory

Arts Council England has commissioned CapeUK to lead on the research for a directory of resources for teachers and schools in the arts, cultural and creative subjects.

School project with Whitechapel Gallery

This is a really interesting project where a school in London worked with artists, Simon & Tom Bloor over a whole year.

Taking inspiration from mid 20th Century educational books such as ‘Working Big’ by John Lidstone and ‘Learning to See’ by Kurt Rowland, Simon and Tom Bloor set out to work with children and teaching staff to experiment with production and develop new ideas for playful, useful art.
