A new educational initiative is set to introduce impactful works of art into British secondary schools, targeting one million students daily.
Leading contemporary artists, including Damien Hirst and Cornelia Parker, are selecting significant artworks like Van Gogh's and Blake's to enhance the cultural syllabus.
Hirst explains his choice of Maurizio Cattelan's controversial piece as a reflection of the absurdity and humor in art, which he believes is crucial for students.
Students will access high-resolution images of these artworks through large screens due to the technological approach of the initiative.
This project, part of the Art in Schools charity, aims to bridge gaps in access to art, especially in areas experiencing cultural neglect.
