Have your say!

What is your favourite topic you have taught in Art? How did you link in different ACP learning skills to guide and generate excitement and interest? 


Currently, we are exploring culture and self-identity in Year 9, I have been overwhelmed by our students' critical thinking skills, they have delved deep into exploring who they are and linking their work to not only themselves but matters happening in the world that they feel passionate about. As a final element, they have explored where they would like to be in the future and how they see life to be. These incredible insights and very thought-provoking conversations have inspired me as their teacher!

 Whilst the creation of art is important and the skills learned along the way to enhance the quality of outcome is also vital, it is also wonderful to see such deeper level thinking into the topic as this shows students working like artists and providing a much deeper and meaningful response.
