Bring Learning to Life Through Art on a Giant 2-Metre Canvas
Project Your Inspiration
From masterpieces to movie characters
Need a little visual inspiration? Our high-quality projectors offer a diverse range of options to spark your creativity. Project images of famous artworks, trace the outlines of iconic masterpieces, explore different artistic styles, or even bring your favourite movie characters to life on the wall. It’s a fantastic tool for visual learners and those seeking a starting point for their own unique creations.
Why Choose PaintnGo for Your School?
Our 2-hour curriculum workshops move classroom learning off the page and onto a giant scale. Held in our vibrant studio, these multi-sensory sessions allow pupils to explore classroom topics through collaborative, large-scale painting across up to 25 metres of total canvas space.
Bring Learning Out of the Classroom
When pupils work together on a massive 2-metre canvas, abstract concepts become concrete memories. Working at this scale naturally encourages communication, peer-to-peer problem-solving, and vocabulary recall.
Whether you are launching a new unit to spark curiosity or celebrating learning at the end of a topic, we provide the setting and environment to bring your teaching to life.

How Our 2-Hour Workshops Work
Choose Your Curriculum Topic
Select one of our popular curriculum-linked themes or bring a custom topic your class is currently studying—such as global ecosystems, local history, or literacy texts.
Share your core learning goals, key vocabulary, and preferred imagery with us ahead of time.
Learn, Create & Collaborate
Our creative team maps out the structural layout on the studio walls in advance. During the session, pupils work collaboratively to paint detailed landscapes, complete cross-sections, and integrate key vocabulary. Our team guides the artistic techniques while teaching staff can focus on prompting knowledge and enjoying the experience alongside their students.
The UV Glow Review Finale
To conclude the session, the studio lights go down and the UV blacklights click on. Luminous paints bring key visual anchors, diagrams, and target vocabulary words to life—creating an unforgettable, high-energy review activity that celebrates the pupils' creative hard work and cements their learning.
