The art’n’life initiative aims to enhance learning by offering engaging art history courses focused on the Renaissance, the Baroque, and other art-historical periods. It strives to nurture creativity by designing hands-on drawing and painting classes and incorporating diverse artistic media to foster artistic skills and self-development. Our programme includes online talks and interactive courses for learners who wish to engage online. Partnership with art schools and societies ensures tailored content for specific educational needs. Immersive experiences, such as specialised art history tours in Italy or visits to museums and galleries in England, deepen understanding and appreciation of art. Finally, the initiative aspires to build a vibrant community for artists, educators, and students to connect, learn, and grow.

About US
art'n'life at the Art Room
This initiative is closely associated with the art room at Ringwood Waldorf School. The room is a vibrant hub of activity, regularly used by the Upper School for art, history, and art history lessons. This dynamic space nurtures both creativity and an understanding of historical contexts.
The room is perfect for adult education lectures and has been the setting for life drawing classes and art history courses, providing a space to expand knowledge and cultivate creativity.
Currently, the room hosts weekly workshops open to anyone interested in artistic expression and uninhibited thinking. Look at the available courses, and feel free to get in touch with any questions.
