Teacher CPD: Think Like an Artist with Esther Neslen (Part 2)
Wednesday 21st May 2025 , 6:00pm to 7:30pm
Join artist educator Esther Neslen in a workshop based on the research findings of her project ‘Thinking Like an Artist’ in primary schools, providing opportunities to bring creativity into learning.
Esther will reference her research findings, touching on topics such as:
- Different ways of approaching art activities in classroom settings, starting from materials, research, or a theme
- Encouraging and facilitating an open-ended approach to making
- Embedding creativity in diverse areas of the curriculum
There will be opportunities to develop these themes with hands-on photographic and 3D textile activities. Esther will be asking participants to use their smartphones for this workshop. If you do not have a smartphone with camera capabilities, please let us know in advance.
Open to all levels of experience. All materials are provided, and you do not need to bring anything with you.
Cross curricular learning opportunities:
History, Science, Maths, Geography, English, Music
Please note, this is a two-part series of workshops. Attending both is highly recommended but not essential, as each will make sense on its own.
If you have any questions, please contact Eleanore, Learning Project Manager, on mccann@bowarts.com
