CreatED Art and Design Series – 'Broadening how we teach art'

About this session
This session will be run by two artist educators, Jemma Fryett and Rachel Thompson. They will encourage teachers to use materials in experimental and experiential ways looking at paint and colour mixing and exploring tools and techniques of mark making. The session aims to open thinking about what art is and explore how these methods can be used in the classroom and influence how we can teach art.
