AccessArt is committed to helping educators and artists develop their passion for teaching art, and to better understand the AccessArt approach.
We do this through:
– A programme of Zoom sessions (below). The majority of our Zoom CPD sessions are offered free of charge to AccessArt members, whilst our collaborative CPD is offered at a reduced price for AccessArt members.
– Our in-person sessions at our studio in Cambridgeshire. Our in-person sessions at the AccessArt Lab provide an opportunity for participants to help test and create content for the AccessArt website, and at the same time to inspire new ways of thinking about visual arts pedagogy.
Tuesday 6th May, 1.00pm-2.00pm BST (Via Zoom) Free for AccessArt Members and Non-Members
Aimed at: Teachers following an English Curriculum or equivalent, at schools overseas.
The AccessArt community is far-reaching, and we are thrilled to see a growing number of international schools using our resources to build and sustain an exciting art curriculum.
If you work in an international school or live outside the UK, join us at this online event to explore what AccessArt can offer the communities you represent. We’ll be joined by an international school currently using AccessArt to share how they have adapted our resources to enrich their curriculum. We also hope the event will be an opportunity for you to make contact with other art educators in different countries and share experiences and inspiration.
This session is suitable for those working in all educational settings overseas, but particularly for those working in schools and as home educators.
This event is free and open to all (you do not have to be an AccessArt member).
This session will be recorded and available to AccessArt Members after the event. Attend the live session for an opportunity to win books!
Monday 12th May, 4.00-4.30pm BST (Via Zoom) Free for AccessArt Members and Non-Members
Aimed at: Teachers of ages 5 to 11 and educators / facilitators working with ages 5 to 11 outside formal education.
If you are looking to create an art week this summer in your school, then you might like to join in with AccessArt Flourish!
We’ve put together a programme of resources to help you run activities in your school. All the activities offered in the art week centre around an exploration and celebration of growth – growth in the natural world – and growth in ourselves as individuals too. Through the AccessArt Art Week we want to make sure that every child feels they can flourish.
The art week is fully flexible so you choose activities which will suit your school/setting, and fit in with your timetable.
Come along to our introductory Zoom session where we will introduce the idea, pass on tips to help with your preparations, and answer any questions.
This session will be recorded and available to AccessArt Members after the event. Attend the live session for an opportunity to win books!
Thursday 15th May, 4.00pm-5.00pm BST (Via Zoom) Free for AccessArt Members
Aimed at: Artists, Educators working in all settings, in particular EYFS, and Primary Schools, Home, Community and Museum & Gallery Education
To celebrate our community of artist educators, we will be talking with artist and educator Jake Spicer, founder of Draw Brighton, and co-founder of the Mawddach Residency in North Wales. We will be hearing about Jake’s exciting new project of renovating a disused Primary School close to him in Wales, and how he and his partner Scarlett Rebecca are transforming it into an art centre where they will teach classes and expand the offer of the Mawddach residency.
Artist educators form a core group in the AccessArt community and hold a unique position in being able to bring a fresh and ‘disruptive’ approach to classrooms and other educational settings.
This session will be recorded and available to AccessArt Members after the event. Attend the live session for an opportunity to win books!
Monday 26th May, 1.00pm BST (Pre-recorded Webinar) Free for AccessArt Members
Aimed at: Art Leads, Classroom Teachers, SLT and other educators
Join us for our next pathway support session where will be sharing the ‘Flora and Fauna’ pathway from the AccessArt Primary Art Curriculum.
These pathway support sessions aim to build teacher knowledge around how the AccessArt Primary Art Curriculum pathways are constructed, and how they can be adapted to suit your school.
In this pathway children are introduced to the idea that many artists use flora and fauna to inspire their work. We look at artists who use drawing as a way to accurately capture the way plants and insects look, and artists who use their imaginations to create their own versions of flora and fauna.
Please note, this session will be a pre-recorded Webinar and not a live event.
Wednesday 9th July, 4.00pm-5.00pm BST (Via Zoom) Free for AccessArt Members
Aimed at: Art Leads, Classroom Teachers, SLT and other educators
Since its launch in 2022, The AccessArt Primary Art Curriculum has been supporting thousands of teachers and educators to deliver a rich and diverse visual art offering. To celebrate this, and champion inspirational practice, we will be hearing from some AccessArt members about their journey using the curriculum pathways, and what impact these have had in their settings.
In this session, we will be joined by teachers who will share examples of work created from several Primary Art Curriculum pathways to provide visual inspiration for how the pathways can be followed or adapted to suit your setting.
This session will be recorded and available to AccessArt members a few days after the event.
