Invitational learning using an expert as a resource for learning.
CEO Mandy from Creative Matters is offering a new opportunity for teachers and their students - a day long customised visual arts experience to fit in with your learning focus, make links with literacy and provide professional development for Kaiako.
As an experienced teacher, art educator and artist, Mandy can contribute to your classroom programme by providing an unforgettable art intensive through a different lens, sharing her knowledge of the visual arts.
We can create a customised session with you to meet the needs of your children and your programme and model how to develop a rich creative process that values individuality. The best practical PD ever AND a wonderful learning experience for your students.
Grey Lynn School Art Day
Our first Art Day was at Grey Lynn School with 86 year 3 and 4 ākonga with lead teacher Kate Ginders: "Having previously worked with Mandy in PD, we thought it would be amazing if she could work with the children. We got in touch to see if this would be something that might work, after communicating over some time, we reached an outcome that worked for all."
Kate booked this session with the intention that the children in her team of 3 classes would "develop an understanding of a process towards creating a final art piece and be 'ignited' for further learning in the arts."
Exploring an artist's work and examples of an artistic genre and making links with literacy:
Experimenting with ideas through drawing, sharing and reflecting
Creating drawings and cutting out symbols that express identity using mixed media, linking to the idea of Still Life and artist Georges Braque's still life work
Selecting media from a wide range of options
"The students throughly enjoyed their day with Mandy and are very keen for her next session. Proud of their creations - many have brought parents into our Kowhai gallery to share their created piece from the day. A lovely immersive experience that shares the creative process."
$500 +GST for the day, which includes all communications, customised planning and some materials. For up to 90 year 3 - year 8 students
