During these fast-track workshops, your pupils will get the chance to think and act as artists, crafts people or designers, and will take responsibility for their own learning. They will devise art projects from their own initiative or produce resources for other pupils at their school. At these unique events they might visit exhibitions, see art works not usually on show or work with specialist artists and educators.
