Art as Inspiration

Key Stage 1-3 | Subject: Art and Design, Literacy | Topics: Art, Craft, Heritage

Join a member of the Castle team and explore over 2000 years of creativity, from Ancient Rome to the present day. Together we’ll learn to “read” paintings and objects, analyse hidden details and step inside the artwork to see it from the point-of-view of both artist and subject.

Please do come and talk to us how we can tailor this workshop to the topics you’re doing that term – we have artworks and objects for every curriculum area!
