The Barber Institute of Fine Arts is one of the University of Birmingham’s great assets. Bring your GCSE or Sixth Form Art students to a bespoke workshop at the gallery (2 hours for up to 30 students at a time) and enjoy a campus tour too.
Contact
[email protected] to express your interest in coming for a workshop, indicating which day suits you best and what time of year you would like to come. The Barber will contact you directly to discuss the content of the workshop, which will be free to Uni-Connect schools. Including lunch and a campus tour, the event will run from 10am – 1.30 pm.
Here are some quotes from Heads of Art who have enjoyed their visits here:
• ‘The students thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the day. The workshop leader engaged the students and was extremely enthusiastic which shone through, and the students responded well to this. We cannot thank her enough for today. She has inspired the students to look at art from a different perspective.’
• ‘The students REALLY enjoyed it. To be honest I have not seen some of these students as enthusiastic as they were today. They were really engaged in the gallery tour and produced fantastic work in the printing session. I think it gave the students an insight into University and made some of them realize that they could go to University and fit in, in that environment.’
