Good news! Our school is one of just twenty schools in the UK selected to receive an exciting new art programme. It’s called ‘Sensations’, and it brings the great art of the world – and the great art of our students – to our TV monitors, computers, and classrooms every day. It’s free and it’s entirely for our enjoyment - no exams!
Each week we shall display a new art ‘exhibition’, often on themes which are relevant to our school community. One exhibition, for example, is called Identity – ‘Who Am I?’ and explores personal identity through a range of artworks from Frida Kahlo through Napoleon to...Batman! Another is Masterpieces from the National Gallery in London. And there will be plenty of contemporary art and the latest digital art. The initial exhibition is called Overture: Welcome to ‘Sensations’ with art from Van Gogh and Andy Warhol.
Sensations is a resource for the whole school. Teachers and tutor/form group leaders can bring the art into their lessons – they will get an advanced view of the programming. And everybody in the school – including staff and parents - will be invited to make their own versions of the famous art to win prizes and see their creations on screen!
Sensations is produced by the charity Art In Schools.
Enjoy!
