Artists needed: visiting artists at Thomas’s School

Hello SLWArtists I’ve been running a program of visiting artists at Thomas’s School, which consists of workshops from artists based on their practice, followed by an exhibition at the school to which parents of the year group are invited. We would like to have 2 artists visit the school between now and Christmas, one before half term and one after. This is a great opportunity for professional development in a relaxed environment. The art department has a computer-linked flat screen to present your work to the class, and an excellent range of materials to use in a workshop. The artists so far have given a 10 minute talk about their work to the 4 classes of a year group, which was then followed by a 30-40 minute class where the children created work based on that artist’s practice. There are 2 art teachers present to assist. For the private view, the artist’s work is mounted in the Art Block alongside all the childrens’ work, and the parents of that year group are invited. If you are interested in participating in this program, please email me to discuss it. The first year group we would like to offer this to is Year 3, 7 – 8 year olds. I look forward to hearing from you. Liz — http://www.lizcharsley-jory.com
