Special workshops delivered by acclaimed and award-winning artists are the latest in a series of online events at Bryanston during the pandemic.

An invitation has also been extended for pupils in Years 11 and 12 at The Blandford School to join the next live online workshop to be hosted by highly respected portrait artist Paul Brandford.

Bryanston’s art department is also exploring the possibility of producing a series of short films to promote creativity in online art lessons for primary schools within the Blandford Schools Network once restrictions are lifted. Head of art Doug Knight said: “Delivering an effective and fulfilling remote learning experience for pupils has been a challenge for all schools, all teachers and all parents.”

He added: “We know how pupils thrived from the experience of earlier pre- lockdown workshops at the school so we were keen to add similar variety and interest to our own online resources. However, the new initiatives have also provided us with the opportunity to extend similar support for neighbouring schools, which has been really well received.”

Mr Knight added: “We’re delighted that, as well as our art scholars, so many pupils attended the two-hour live online workshop with many others in different time zones also watching a recording of the event. It was a rich, hectic, amusing and inspirational afternoon and the positive feedback from the different year groups has been outstanding.”
