Join George the Poet for a thought-provoking 30-minute Live Lesson at Willesden Green Library where he transforms words into art.
This interactive session helps children unlock their creativity, experiment with language, and build confidence in self-expression through spoken word.
Download your free planning pack to help support you in delivering the lesson.
Plus, explore the Words Inspiration Packs - covering Poetry and Storytelling - to keep the learning going and bring the arts to life in your classroom.
Our Inspiration Packs are full of classroom activities to continue exploring the arts following the Discover, Explore, Make, Share process. And you can learn about careers in the arts too with our Creative Careers Quests.
Browse our gallery of portraits by artists from Portrait Artist of the Year.
Get creative with mark-making with our Creative Experiments Cards.
Johanna Basford invites you create your own self-portrait that reveals something about your identity. She models how she would approach the task, offering tips and tricks.
We’d love for you to join our live lesson on Wednesday 18 June to take part in a nationwide celebration of the arts. However, we understand the need for flexibility, so the lesson will be uploaded to this page early on Monday 9 June, and will remain on the site so you can run it at a time that works best for you.
Bring some star dust into your classroom every day across the week with Darcey Bussell, Fleur East, George the Poet, Will Sliney and Wicked!
