Teachers Continuing Professional Development workshop: Material worlds

Working with artist Jenny Moore, participants used Pascale Marthine Tayou’s sculptures as the starting point for a playful investigation of the social life of objects. They thought about how we collect, relate to, share and discard the stuff of our everyday lives.

This thematic approach incorporated critical discussion and hands on creative activities so that teachers could develop their own inquiry based projects back in the classroom.

The workshop supported the national curriculum in art and design. It was suitable for Key Stage 1 – 4 teachers and teaching assistants.

‘I enjoyed discovering great practical ideas which I could take back to the classroom!’

‘The workshop has given me confidence to develop ideas.’
