Professional Learning | Drawing Breath for Primary Educators

Professional Learning | Drawing Breath for Primary Educators

Are you an early learning or primary school educator wondering how you can assist your students with making, reflecting, responding, analysing and interpreting works of art?

Join Head of Learning and Creativity Research, Lilly Blue in a participatory workshop exploring contemplative creative practices, art games and Aesthetic Learning methodologies.

The quieter and more still we become, the more we are able to sense, feel and truly see a work of art.

Participants will:
• Learn simple and fun creative drawing games to heighten presence and attention
• Practice mindfulness activities connected to the elements and principles of art
• Explore strategies for transforming the classroom into a contemplative studio space
• Gain experience in facilitating open-ended, inclusive and participatory conversations
• Practice non-linear, playful and poetic forms of enquiry
• Engage with the thinking of educator and philosopher Maxine Greene and her theory of Wide-awakeness

Suitable for Primary School Educators, as well as anyone working in arts learning with young people.
