Educational Art Weeks
Give a child a blank sheet of drawing paper, stimulate the imagination with beautiful examples, and literally anything is possible. With that idea as the foundation, the Educational Art Weeks were developed. A unique project 'Visual Forms' for primary schools.

Artists as Inspiration
Many children need a push to really get their ideas flowing. Who better to provide that than the great artists of our time? During the Educational Art Weeks, children explore a famous artist by age category.
The Class Website
During the program, each class gets its own class website where all the necessary information about the project is easily accessible. With videos, photo albums, slideshows, and inspiring assignments, children are engaged school-wide.
Lesson Structure
The program has a clear structure built in three phases. The fixed frameworks provide support and at the same time enough space for safe improvisation. This way, every student achieves a beautiful end result.
an artist and his work
The children get to know a famous artist in a playful way.
- Video introduction about the artist
- Highlights of the oeuvre in high resolution
- Photo album about the artist's life
- Explanation of difficult concepts
- Tips for further study
getting to work in the master's style
The children now get to work with the inspiration they have gained, using free drawing paper. The assignments help both teacher and student to get more out of a normal drawing lesson.
- Choice of two fully elaborated creative assignments
- Step-by-step instructions in word and image
- As a free assignment or with a worksheet
- PDF to download, print, or project
positive critical look at the end result
During the final phase of the program, evaluation and reflection take place. This is done using the class gallery where all the creations of the class - provided the children have submitted their drawing - can be seen.
- Short instruction video
- Lesson plan provides guidance for the teacher if desired
Inspiration for Everyone
Artists have a unique view of the world. There is much to learn from that. It is not for nothing that the work of famous artists forms the basis of the Educational Art Weeks. To be able to respond maximally to the specific needs, wishes, and limitations of the different age groups, the project is divided into four levels.
By working out two artists per two classes, every child gets to know a new artist every year. It is therefore educational and fun for the children to participate every year.
From inquisitive toddlers to uncertain teenagers, inspiring them to create a real artwork, that is what the Educational Art Weeks are all about.
Piet Mondrian or Wassily Kandinsky
Associative and AbstractToddlers are associative and find their own story in abstract art. Together with the Educational Art Weeks, the preschool teacher turns this talent into beautiful artworks, based on the work of Mondrian or Kandinsky.
Keith Haring or Andy Warhol
Recognizable Forms, Dynamic and FunThe children become increasingly interested in forms. The artworks become more recognizable, but not necessarily more realistic. This is why Haring and Warhol are an excellent source of inspiration for these children.
Vincent van Gogh or Joan Miró
Narrative Emotion and Sense of ColorThe emphasis shifts more towards color use and realism. Work must be concrete, narrative. These students have left true abstractions behind. The work of Van Gogh and Miró fits perfectly with this age category.
Pablo Picasso or Henri Matisse
A Unique View of the WorldEmotions surface. Subjects no longer need to be literal; students are encouraged to approach art in a more personal way.
Exhibit in Your Online Museum
Children's art is definitely museum-worthy. Therefore, every child gets an online museum with a real museum shop. Family and friends can admire the child's artwork online and get to know the school's special art program. Having your own museum is always a special experience for children. And having a museum shop is even more special: just like Van Gogh, immortalized on a coffee mug, greeting card, or lunchbox... that is the crowning achievement for any artist.
Earn Extra Money for Your Good Cause
If desired, the Educational Art Weeks can also be used as a fundraising tool. A percentage determined by you will then go directly to the school's good cause.
Every Child an Artist
A Beautiful Artwork
Every child can draw. During the Educational Art Weeks, the main rule is; a piece cannot be wrong as long as you do your best.
Their Own Museum...
The children each get their own museum on the internet so everyone can enjoy their artwork. What says 'Your work is amazing' better than when it is displayed in a real museum?
with a Real Museum Shop!
What makes this program truly unique is that enthusiasts can order their own version of the artwork in the accompanying museum shop, on items like mugs, placemats, lunchboxes, or postcards. And the proceeds, if desired, go to the school's good cause.

To exhibit in the hall, auditorium, or break room, you will receive the XXL Art Weeks poster; it showcases the creations of all participants. For parents who do not visit the school frequently, there is the online School Gallery in a secure environment. This way, everyone gets captivated by the art.
