Inspiring Art Workshops for Schools

featuring the world's greatest artists

Imagine Filbert: artist in school bringing Picasso, Van Gogh, Dali, Monet and others to life in an assembly in your school. So informative, exciting and stimulating, with lots of pupil participation, it is a fantastic start to the day.

After the school assembly follows inspiring practical art workshops - learning new drawing and painting skills has never been such fun. Using their newly learn skills children create their own masterpieces. What a truly memorable day

NEW for this year only our Olympic themed  Great Artist Workshops. Imagine what Picasso, Van Gogh or even Warhol would have made of the London Olympics? The re-creation of the artist's life would be as outlined above but the practical workshops would have an Olympic theme. Contact Filbert for Details

Great Artist Days

Primary Schools
Secondary Schools

How do you choose which Great Artist to visit your school? 

Picasso is wonderfully creative, Van Gogh had a tragic end, but his work bursts with life. Dali is hugely entertaining and bizarrely creative. On the other hand Rousseau quietly paints his jungles, whilst Warhol chases fame and fortune.

Great Paintings Days

Primary Schools

Quite different from Great Artist days. The whole day is based around just one painting by your chosen artist. During the interactive session the great artist will bring the painting to life, explaining what motivated and inspired him to paint it, his methods and techniques, its whole history.


Armed with this information and the drawing and painting workshops that follow, children will create their own scenarios, ideas and motivations and produce a work of art unique to themselves. .

What Schools say

'Thanks so much for your visit - it went really well and the children were inspired! Everything was pitched just at the right level and pace for them.
We finished off today and some of them wanted and had another go....they've been going round saying 'This is BRILLIANT' all day.
