Sublime Symmetry : KS2 Artis workshops at Guildhall Art Gallery

 

​Using the mathematical design in the ceramic works of William de Morgan as inspiration students can take part in a performing arts workshop led by Artis Specialist Wendy (Whirl) at the Guildhall Art Gallery. The sessions will support children’s understanding of geometry and help develop their spatial awareness. The sessions will take place in the main gallery at the Guildhall Art Gallery in the City of London.

Through activities in movement and music, children will use their bodies to create symmetrical shapes and work in pairs and groups to create symmetrical sequences of movements with particular reference to symmetrical shapes (including polyhedra) and lines of symmetry.

Upcoming session dates:

  • 11, 25 June
  • 9 July
  • 3, 17 September
  • 1, 15 October

 

FREE.

Booking essential. Phone 020 7332 3870 or email: Guildhall Art Gallery

We have seen a monumental difference in the pupil’s engagement and participation with Artis sessions that are not seen in the classroom lessons.

  Anthony Wilkinson, Behaviour Support Worker, Parklands Primary
 

The arts hold the power to reflect, to motivate and to bring us to our highest possible selves. Without the arts we are but two dimensions.

  Kwame Kwei-Armah, Artis Patron
 

Because of the arts, the learning experiences at Pakeman are much richer and the children are much happier.

  Emma Bonnin, Head, Pakeman Primary
 

I don’t think you can really invest in anything better than the arts because that’s about how we see each other and ourselves.

  Nitin Sawhney, Artis Patron
 

It has been great to see many of our children grow in confidence over the year.

  Emily Baggot, Teacher, Wheelers Lane Primary
 

Artis helps us to deliver our curriculum in a way that allows the children to be really engaged. And it is absolutely fantastic to watch them do that.

  Ciara Parris, Head, Links Primary
 

It has been so rewarding for our children to work with Artis. If you are reading this wondering whether you should make the decision to bring them into your school, do it. Our children love working with Beebop, it is great for their mental wellbeing and enriches our curriculum. Our staff love it too!

  Darren Rubin, Executive Head of School
