BBC Arts Editor Will Gompertz
spoke to pupils about the merits of
the arts in education. Sixth Former
Maria Saenko (
British International
School Barcelona
) reports: ‘Mr
Gompertz argued that art is one
of the most effective forces for
social and personal development.
We discovered that artistic ways of
thinking have been studied by physiological and
social scientists, and how successful people in the
modern world apply creative thought processes in
one way or another.’ Read Maria’s full report on
Mr Gompertz’s talk,
Why all schools should be art
