All lessons can be integrated into your Visual Art and Art History classroom programmes.

Check the specific curriculum links for the Visual Arts statement for the listed lessons. We can also adapt our programme for Social Studies and English encounters through art. While our hands-on activities are intended to meet the Practical Knowledge strand, they can be focused on extending Technology, particularly in understanding how art-making processes solve problems.
