For this episode I was so delighted to have Stephen Wiltshire record a video for The Primary Art Class. He is an artist that I have admired and used in the classroom for many years. Stephen’s work has the ‘wow’ factor that children respond so well to, and his story about how art has been his go to is so inspiring!
