Tate has joined forces with McQueen and 35 museums and galleries across the country to complain that the curriculum in England is failing children. They are calling for an “arts-rich curriculum” as a “lasting legacy” for McQueen’s hugely popular school photo project which filled Tate Britain with thousands of class photos of year 3 children. It was wonderful to see an explosion of ideas and creativity, visual creativity. Cutting arts education means you cut off inventiveness, which impacts on being creative. The decline of arts education in England’s schools is seen by many as one of the most urgent of all cultural issues.
