What is Arts Instruct for Schools?

Arts Instruct for schools is an online art membership designed to support schools in delivering inspiring, structured art education for Key Stage 3 students.

Testimonials

Finding my daughter suitable courses online has been a real problem for me. Ones that keep her interested & that she is able to follow easily on her own, is our struggle. She is a very creative 13 year old but can be very negative towards different art mediums & is sometimes unwilling to try out different styles or learn about art history. I can happily say that she has started working through your videos this week & so far she has found it really engaging & in my opinion has already started creating art that expresses her personality & is trying out different techniques that she has never done before. I really hope that she is keen to continue as I personally am very impressed with the content of the tutorials & you can see that you have put a lot of thought into the making of these classes.

My daughter has been having art lessons with Joanne, she is very professional whilst making the classes fun. Léa is quite shy and Joanne has encouraged her to express herself on paper. They have learnt new techniques and used different mediums and styles. Léa is always excited for her next class and Joanne discusses options so Léa is happy with what she will be drawing/painting. Léa is growing in confidence with her art and is looking forward to continuing to learn new styles.

Joanne is an engaging art teacher! She meets you where you are and helps you reach the goals you want to achieve. Her teaching is always fun and well thought out, and it is tailored to your needs. Amazing art teacher!

Joanne has been my tutor for the last 3 months, and she has helped me achieve my artistic goals. I am extremely happy with my progress and what I have been able to create. Thank you, Joanne!
