Professional Development and Support in Visual Art
Our interactive visual arts PD explores the benefits of developing a rich creative process of exploring, experimenting, creating, reflecting and sharing in your art programme.
Teachers are guided to experience this process first hand, discover how they can apply the techniques and approach in their classrooms and make links across the curriculum.
Develop the creative process through:
-
Painting and colour making
-
Exploring and responding to an artist and their work
-
Sculpture
-
Creating a collaborative art installation
-
Creating a school wide art exhibition
-
Printmaking
-
Squiggla mark making www.squiggla.org
-
Customise your own with Mandy

"The role of a creative leader is not to have all the ideas; it’s to create a culture where everyone can have ideas and feel they’re valued"
Sir Ken Robinson


There are no such things as 'creatives'.
Every child, every teacher, everyone is creative.
