As a schoolboy said not long ago: Shakespeare looks boring but when you’re in it, it’s fun. Much the same is true of a great deal of the arts, which is why everything that Children & the Arts does - and Arts &Kids Week in particular - is so important. Introducing young people to the arts is introducing them to something that they can understand once they’re immersed in it. And the life rewards are enormous. Quentin Blake on Arts & Kids Week 2006
