ArtWorks Education: the Easiest Way to Ace Cross-Curricular Learning!

There’s a massive push for schools to integrate cross-curricular learning, to help students make meaningful connections in their learning, and art is the perfect subject to make it happen—yes, even in subjects like Maths (Hello, Fibonacci Sequence!)

ArtWorks Education makes this integration simple by teaching painting projects that directly link to core topics already covered in schools.

We provide printable information sheets for KS2 topics such as The Industrial Revolution and The Stone Age. These sheets aren't just background fluff; they include insightful analysis of paintings from those historical periods.

Furthermore, we offer detailed painting analyses that are suitable for older students, reaching up to Foundation Course level. This means ArtWorks provides material that deepens both historical knowledge and art appreciation, supporting your students' learning across the entire curriculum.

ArtWorks aims to foster skills that our current education system either doesn’t teach well or doesn’t teach at all, but they are skills students will need in some capacity as adults, regardless of their chosen profession. 

Learning to paint is fantastic because it secretly develops a whole suite of skills you need in life, not just in the classroom or studio!

Here are the key non-artistic skills that painting helps build:

Many subject areas come with an expectation that new concepts must be grasped and mastered in a short period of time, and there’s an emphasis on right or wrong answers. This gives students little opportunity to learn how to develop ‘soft’ skills such as patience, persistence and resilience; and some develop a life-long fear of giving wrong answers or ‘making mistakes’ - which is the enemy of creativity! This feeling of being completely in control in a safe space, is incredibly empowering.

Finishing a piece, gives  a real boost of self-esteem and pride, knowing they created something unique. It's a fantastic way to teach them that it's okay for things not to be 'perfect' and to enjoy the process.

It really doesn't matter if the painting doesn't look like the example painting. The focus is on the creative process, not the final product.

In ArtWorks there are never mistakes only ever ‘Happy Accidents’!

Copying a painting is a powerful learning tool for beginning artists. Learning technique and how to handle materials from another artist is the foundation for developing a creative vision and expression that cannot be duplicated. It’s not just about copying another artist’s work, it’s also about teaching the foundational concepts behind it, which is how artists have learned their skills for centuries!

Painting is fantastic for children's mental health and relaxation as it provides a vital non-verbal outlet for complex emotions like stress and anger that they may struggle to articulate, allowing for a healthy, cathartic release.

The focused, repetitive process of applying colour and observing the paint's texture encourages a state of mindfulness, effectively calming the nervous system and reducing anxiety.

Furthermore, the activity boosts self-esteem because children are entirely in control of their creation, fostering a valuable sense of accomplishment and empowering them to find their own ways to self-soothe.

For Teachers in the UK: Meeting OFSTED Requirements

ArtWorks is designed to help students build confident, embedded painting skills through structured repetition — exactly the kind of practice Ofsted highlights as essential for long-term learning.

Each tutorial is taught live by a professional artist, and students can pause, rewind, and repeat techniques until they stick.

Alongside practical skill-building, ArtWorks also supports curriculum requirements through an expanding library of art theory and art history resources, helping learners talk and write about art with confidence.
