On a weekly basis a professional artist works with a class delivering a variety of art experiences. Starting with giving the children the building blocks of the basics of drawing and painting and then moving onto how to draw a portrait, understanding perspective and mark making.

EYFS explored storytelling through The Hedgehog and Her Hoglet, key stage 1 explored The Gruffalo and Key Stage 2 took on Gangsta Granny. Using a mixture of storytelling, visual art and drama activities every class took part in a workshop. Key Stage 2 came together and the end of the day to share what they had been doing during the day.

IN SCHOOL EXHIBITION – VICTORIA PARK PRIMARY SCHOOL

Over two weeks every class came to take part in a half day visual art workshop exploring theme of identity. The school wanted to create an in school exhibition that parents and carers could be invited to as a way to encourage families to come in to the school. Working with our galleries team a selection of work was exhibited in the main hall whilst other work took over the corridors of the school; hanging from ceilings and on display in exhibition display cases. Children acted as tour guys moving visitor throughout the space. In the main hall an artist worked with families to create a large scale display representing their school community.

What is Artsmark?

Artsmark award celebrates schools that champion the arts and strive for excellence in their provision. 

An award designed by schools for schools to make it more relevant to the changing educational landscape and, as such, it seeks to help schools strike a balance in meeting EBACC and STEM priorities.

As well as recognising schools that make the arts come alive, the Artsmark award is a useful, practical and valuable tool for enriching a school’s arts provision and ensuring the myriad of benefits brought by the arts are infused across the curriculum and the school community.  It provides schools with access to high quality and practical resources and enviable networks that will enable them to use the arts to inspire learning and harness the power of the arts in developing happy, successful and confident young people.

How can The Lowry support your school to achieve Artsmark?

We can support your Artsmark applications by helping you to demonstrate:

Effective working relationships with artists and arts organisations including workshops, visits and short to long term projects

Professional arts development opportunities for staff

A broad and balanced provision across art, craft and design, dance, drama and music

Engagement with their local community

Quality progression opportunities and access for all

Cultural awareness through the arts
