The Art Show - What Age Can You Start Being an Artist?
Channel 4, 7.30 to 8pm
This programme tells the remarkable story of how a primary school near Fort William set up what has become an internationally renowned art department, 'Room 13', run by the pupils. Ten-year-olds Rosie and Amy show how their school allows any child to leave their classroom at any time during the day to make art, and how they shot to fame by winning last year's Barbie Art Prize of 20,000, while the National Endowment for Science and the Arts has awarded them a huge amount of money. The programme features pupils' artwork and follows them as they visit the Tate Modern gallery to pick up one of their many prizes.
