Discover how Magic Lantern workshops spark excitement about art history in schools.

Linked brilliantly to our Science and Art! Not many, if any, of our children have looked in depth at artwork in a gallery so it opened up a new world for some, especially with an expert voice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our workshops.

All the children are SO engaged and it’s nice to see children that don’t always contribute in class sessions having lots to say in the workshops. A really great pace that keeps all of the children’s attention – I really liked the active participation that is used in the lesson. It’s accessible to all learners. An excellent workshop!

Engaging and informative with a lot of debate and talk as a group which in a prison environment helps inmates feel that their ideas are wanted and worthwhile, a feeling most prisoners rarely feel. The lecture brought paintings to people who most likely would never visit places these paintings are exhibited. A very worthwhile two hours.
