In the spring and summer of 2016, Paula Briggs and Sheila Ceccarelli from AccessArt and Kate Noble from the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge to create and deliver a series of InSET sessions (in-service-training) for primary school teachers.
The aim was to fuse top Museum Education practice with practical, hands on learning in Fine Art disciplines including: drawing, printmaking, sketchbooks, collage and sculpture.
“Fabulous, very interactive, informative and inspirational – thank you!”
“I will use online collections and ideas for how to respond to artist’s work…”
“It has changed the way that I think about the potential of teaching at a lower age in museums by looking in detail at part of a painting and honing in on mark making.”
The sessions were carefully recorded to share in the blog posts below.
