How can we create a curriculum that is engaging and relevant to all learners in KS3?
How can this help to increase the number of learners who choose to take art as an option subject in KS4?
In this session run by Susan Coles, we will explore how skills and creativity can be taught together in KS3 to foster exploration, cultural diversity, critical analysis and personal expression. Combining traditional techniques with digital media we ask how we can celebrate these skills, so learners feel encouraged to solve real-world problems through art.
Susan will be joined by Becky Mizon, Director of Creative Studies at Ormiston Victory Academy Norwich.
Monday 3rd March 5.00-7.00pm (Via Zoom) £35 Non-Members / £25 for AccessArt Members and Trainee Teachers.

Drawing is important across all Key Stages and underpins our art curriculums, but do we truly explore drawing for purpose in Primary education?
Drawing is versatile, whether it’s a scribbled sketch or a detailed observation. Drawings need to be understood not just as an end in themselves, but as cognitive, conceptual and expressive tools in making art and developing ideas.
Join Art Consultant Susan Coles and lead practitioners Mandy Barrett (Gomersal Primary School) and artist Jo Blaker to find out more and to see a range of activities which help you to understand the importance and diversity of drawing.
FOR THIS SESSION PLEASE HAVE SOME DRAWING MATERIALS, PENCILS, PAPER, PAIR OF SCISSORS HANDY AS WE WILL BE DOING SOME QUICK ACTIVITIES THAT YOU CAN USE IN THE CLASSROOM.
Wednesday 26th March 4.00pm-5.00pm (Via Zoom) £35 Non-Members / £25 for AccessArt Members and Trainee Teachers.
Aimed at: KS3 &KS4 Teachers, SLT, Artist Educators
“Drawing is an intellectual activity that should be embedded as a medium for learning across the curriculum”. – Eileen Adams
Drawing can and should be more than a representational observation of an object. Drawing and mark-making should be used to engage students in expression, communication, critical-thinking, recording and visualising.
In this online session, Art Consultant Susan Coles will be joined by Becky Mizon, Director of Creative Studies at Ormiston Victory Academy; and Caroline Whelan, Leader of Learning for the Art department at Heath Park School in Wolverhampton.
This session will show how drawing can enhance and broaden your curriculum and how challenging the perception of what drawing enables creative development for all learners.
The return of this popular and highly successful CPD run by Art consultant Susan Coles will explore the issues we face in engaging boys in the art curriculum.
Using research and evidence we will discuss how you can develop more inclusive learning models at all Key Stages and make the subject meaningful, relevant and engaging to 21st century learners, in a changed post pandemic world.
This session will support you to develop realistic and achievable strategies to make changes, to identify your own CPD needs and to achieve the goal of getting boys back into art, craft and design.
Please note, this session will NOT be recorded.
