SEN schools week: sensory summer spectacular!
Sunday 25 June - Thursday 29 June 2017
Meet in the Front Hall, Burlington House, Royal Academy of Arts
Free, booking required.
Summer Exhibition 2017
Supported by The Lord Leonard and Lady Estelle Wolfson Foundation
Our tailor-made multi-sensory workshops are led by experienced artist educators for students with special educational needs. They include gallery based conversation and object handling, followed by an art making session.
Experience the world’s largest open submission exhibition! Students will be guided through a panorama of art in all mediums by a remarkable array of artists. Students can touch many of the works in the exhibition, providing an ideal multi-sensory environment in which students can discover and learn. Creative sessions will draw from dominant themes and material processes of the exhibition illustrated in a selection of works chosen by the students.
These workshops will take place in one of the John Madejski Fine Rooms. The room is a private area that will be available for the sole use of your group throughout the day and can be used for lunch, feeding and changing.
Before booking, please note that these sessions are more successful when we work with a distinct class group, rather than a group that combines pupils from different classes or age groups. Call 020 7300 5995 for more information.
