How Best to Assess Art in Primary Schools 10.30am-12.15am GMT
What does “assess” art mean, and why do we feel the need to talk about it?
This session will gently push at the boundaries of what it means to assess art in primary schools. We will explore how we can come at the issue from slightly different perspectives so that we can help children best reach their creative potential.
This session is targeted at SLT, Art Co-ordinators and classroom teachers.
The first in our series of 4 CPD sessions for Art Leads and Newly Qualified Teachers will explore Sculpture.
In this session we will introduce you to the area and provide activities and key resources from AccessArt which you can then use with your staff in a CPD in your school at a later date. The sessions will be a mixture of theory and practice, and no previous knowledge of the area is needed.
The AccessArt Sketchbook Journey, consisting of an inspiring collection of online resources, has been created to help art leads and teachers in primary schools better understand how sketchbooks can be used in schools, and to further support teachers we will be running termly meet ups so that teachers across the country can come together to share their experiences, successes and challenges in sketchbook use, and learn from each other.
Whatever your level of experience, and where ever your school is on its Sketchbook Journey, come along and share your experience / ask questions of AccessArt and other teachers. Open to AccessArt Members – Book your place here.
