TAS Wessex Area Sponsors Heads of Art & Art Teachers Winter Conference 2024

The Winter Conference this year was a valuable opportunity to spend the whole day working with Artist, Teacher and Graphic Designer, Becks Flint.

The course was designed to:

• Enable Teachers to make exemplar materials suitable for use with fine art, graphics, photography and textiles.

• Enable teachers to create exemplar materials to inspire individualised learning.

• Give teachers the confidence to discuss a range of contemporary arts and crafts, jobs, and                                   degree courses and learn skills that increase pupil understanding of the art world. These can be used with all Key stages through differentiation which includes health and safety.

• Create opportunities to address literacy and progress

• Demonstrate differentiated target setting.

• Enable teachers to use open questioning more confidently.

• Gain insight into historical and contemporary arts, crafts and design and their use within the curriculum.

• Extend subject skills and knowledge base.

• Allow teachers to share good practice leading to more effective art teaching.

Course Outcomes:

• All outcomes can be shared throughout the group using photography and the creation of resources that can inspire further exploration.
• Individual outcomes can be used as classroom resources.
• The breadth of tasks available for study will provide teachers with a wide range of ideas for project work, each with its own contextual references and exemplars.
