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 see the world in a unique way. There is a lot to learn from that. That is why the work of well-known artists forms the starting point of the Art Weeks. To meet the needs, interests and abilities of different age groups, the project is offered at four levels.
Each year, four artists are explored across two classes. This way, every child is introduced to a new artist every year. Taking part year after year is therefore both educational and enjoyable.
From curious young learners to uncertain teenagers, inspiring children to create their own artwork is what the Art Weeks are all about.
Young children think in associations and find their own stories in abstract art. Together with the Art Weeks, the teacher helps turn this talent into beautiful artworks, inspired by the work of Mondrian, Kandinsky, Kusama or Thomas.
Children become increasingly interested in shapes. Their artworks grow more recognisable, though not necessarily more realistic. For that reason, Haring, Warhol, Klee and O’Keeffe are an excellent source of inspiration for these children.
The focus shifts increasingly towards the use of colour and realism. Artwork becomes more concrete and narrative. Pure abstraction is something these pupils have largely moved beyond. The work of Van Gogh, Miró, Appel and Lichtenstein fits this age group perfectly.
Emotions begin to surface. Subjects no longer need to be literal; pupils are encouraged to approach art in a more personal way. The work of Kahlo, Dalí, Matisse and Picasso supports this stage of development and leaves room for expression and individual interpretation.
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.
The School Gallery and free XXL poster
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.
