Virtual Classroom: Art Encounters Live

Enjoy a digital visit to Leeds Art Gallery and get-up close to art linked to an in-school theme. Pupils will discover more by becoming art detectives, using their enquiry and thinking skills, and taking up a creative challenge for a follow-up class or homework.

Virtual classrooms are delivered via Zoom Pro. During the workshop we will:

  • look at artworks featured in an exhibition
  • explore an artwork in depth
  • make quick visual or written responses
  • spark conversations including a question and answer session
  • learn about an artist as stimulation for the pupils own artwork

Duration: 1 hour  |  Suitable for: all Key Stages

Capacity: 1 class per session  |  Sessions run: Monday – Friday
