“Every child is an artist” – Picasso
The arts have a critical role to play in developing the skills and behaviours that lead
children to do better in school.
In fact, studies show that participating in creative activities encourage self-expression, build confidence, develop communication and critical thinking skills and a sense of identity.
Through our Sky Arts’ Access All Arts week initiative we’ve managed to reach hundreds of thousands of children across the country.
By supporting teachers to bring high quality arts teaching into their classrooms, we want to help schools make space for the arts and celebrate creative expression.
More than four out of five teachers who took part in the week last year told us that they felt more confident to teach the arts after using the Access All Arts resources and 87% said that the week had raised the profile of the arts in their school.
