Will Gompertz

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 schools , on the website.
