Welcome to our library of Zoom CPD recordings that explore Disciplines and Pedagogy suitable for all educational settings.
The recordings on this page share practical approaches to drawing, making, printmaking and sketchbooks which can be explored in a variety of educational settings. They are designed to help educators expand their knowledge and understanding of various disciplines, materials and techniques.
We also include recordings that enhance your understanding of pedagogy—how we teach art and the reasons behind our approach.
