Live Stream Art & Wellbeing:

The “Press Play” Classroom Experience

During the school year, I facilitate, online art lessons designed specifically for pupils aged 6–11 years old. These sessions are a lifeline for teachers who may feel they lack the confidence or time to deliver a high-quality Art and Design curriculum that also prioritises pupil wellbeing.

I take the pressure off the teacher by leading the entire session live, allowing you to participate alongside your pupils or focus on classroom management while I handle the specialist delivery.

How the Session Works

My virtual classroom is designed to be seamless, professional, and high-energy:

• 09:30 am | The Creative Connection: All classes log on via a secure link. I keep all participants muted initially to ensure clear audio delivery, allowing every pupil to hear the instruction perfectly.

• The Introduction: I introduce the morning’s theme, exploring a Contextual Artist or a specific Art Movement to build the pupils’ art history knowledge.

• The Guided Lesson: I teach live for one hour, demonstrating techniques in real-time.

• 10:30 am – 10:50 am | Morning Break: The stream pauses for your scheduled school break.

• The Final Flourish: We resume at 10:50am to add colour, depth, and detail.

• The Gallery Reveal: To finish, pupils have the opportunity to share their masterpieces on screen with the wider “Arts & Minds” community.

The Impact

These lessons go beyond “drawing and painting.” By integrating Growth Mindset and Mindfulness into every brushstroke, I help your pupils develop confidence, focus, and a genuine love for the creative process.

“What Teachers are Saying…”

Each time my class have worked with you they have achieved way beyond their expectations. They are always so proud of their achievements- thank you so much!

To see the class enjoy the lesson was absolutely fantastic. Some children who usually don’t enjoy art lessons were fully engaged and I would love them to experience this again. They explained it as helping them learn how to draw from a different perspective. Every child in the class was delighted with their finished piece. Thank you.
