Develop your students’ contextual and critical research skills through working with art, artists and ideas in the exciting new Tate Modern.
Explore a diverse, innovative and inventive range of creative approaches, designed to support your students’ progression, at this one-day CPD event from UAL and Tate.
Working with artist and Fine Art Programme Leader at Central Saint Martins, Alex Schady and Associate Dean of Camberwell College of Arts, Amanda Jenkins, the course will promote a dialogue between art practice and teaching.
Participants will explore Tate’s renowned collection through a number of practical activities. The morning will instil the value of practice-based enquiry - entertaining the possibilities of not-knowing, encountering the unexpected, testing, failing and finding out - as a strategy for supporting the development of ideas and a meaningful learning experience for students.
Inspired by time spent exploring the collection, the group will come together to discuss the possibilities presented by using the gallery as an alternative learning environment, with a focus on exam assessment processes.
Teachers will be encouraged to reflect on their own learning and critically consider how they support and measure the success of their students’ learning.
The ideas, thinking and activities from the day will be collated into a digital resource for participants to use, draw upon and develop back in the classroom.
