Sainsbury Centre Teachers' INSET programme
Studio workshop
Saturday 15th OctoberBelow is the information sent to teachers for the INSET day coming up very soon.
We chose to focus on paper to underpin the day - a readily available and highly transferable material with much scope for different outcomes:
Probably not too late to sign up or signpost an art or textiles teacher you know to this fun and enriching day we have planned.
We took several photos of our planning and playing - exploring our ideas - when Becca and I got together last week:
Sainsbury Centre Teachers' INSET programme
Studio workshop
Saturday 15th October
A day of creative exploration of the exhibition FIJI: Art and Life in the Pacific.
Led by Artist-Educator Annie Brundrit, and School and Outreach Programme Coordinator Becca Sturgess.
Taking inspiration from painted Fijian barkcloth and woven floor matting, we will explore the potential of paper and pattern.
Through developing knowledge and understanding of the traditional processes and craft skills used to make Tapa and Masi, we will experiment with similar materials and techniques to make creative responses to the exhibition.
There will be the opportunity to work in both 2D and 3D. We will consider paper as a surface for decoration through drawing, painting, and print, as well as exploring its suitability as a material for building structural sculptural forms on a variety of scales.
We will look beyond the exhibition to global contemporary practice in art, craft and design. We will discuss links to other curriculum subjects.
The workshop will be suitable for Teachers working at all levels. The activities will enable you to build on existing skills, and benefit from working alongside and exchanging ideas with your peers.
