Art In Schools broadcasts stunning images of famous and contemporary artworks comprising painting, sculpture, photography, and digital and video art. Pupils enjoy artwork displayed over the school year in a series of exhibitions under the programme name ‘Sensations Art’.
Sensations programming has a variety of uses in schools. Administrators are able to show the art on the schools' own TV screens in common areas and on school computers. Teachers – not just of art but of all subjects – are able to display the art on the digital whiteboards in class and integrate it in their lessons. We also supply teachers with learning resources that accompany the programming. Headteachers and tutor group leaders often use the art in their assemblies and group sessions.
There’s more. We also inspire the entire school community to engage with the art by voting for their favourite works and making their own versions. Students (and staff) participate in Art Challenges, in which they submit their versions of famous artworks to win prizes – and see their work on the big screen. The entries are endlessly creative and in a variety of media.
