Stepping into the Frame KS 1-2

Stepping into the Frame KS1/2

Art E. Britain, an eccentric art critic, has arrived at Rugby Art Gallery & Museum to investigate why art is important. They cannot crack the case alone, so they are recruiting pupils as Art Explorers to help them.

Pupils will discover hidden clues in artworks, exploring artists, techniques, and the stories, people and ideas behind the work.

By the end of the workshop, pupils will have explored artworks using their bodies, voices and imaginations, before creating their own artwork inspired by what they have discovered. Along the way, they will investigate the clues that reveal why art matters.

Workshop costs £150.00 per class for a two-hour session

Curriculum links: Art & Design, English and Drama. Pupils explore and respond to artworks, develop visual literacy and art vocabulary, investigate artists and techniques, and use their bodies, voices and imaginations to interpret and communicate ideas. They experiment with creative techniques and apply what they have discovered to their own artwork, developing observation, imagination, discussion and evaluation skills.

If you wish to bring two classes, we can arrange for one class to take part in the workshop while the other explores our exhibitions through a self-led visit; please contact us to discuss this option.
