ART & DESIGN WORKSHOPS
After an introductory talk and tour round the exhibition, pupils would be presented with their task. At this stage, if appropriate, they would be given paper and drawing materials to work on ideas. A time limit would be set for this of up to 20 minutes. Thereafter the practical section of the workshop would start.
To demonstrate how the workshops would dovetail with 5-14 Forward Plans, I will include the relevant strands. Each workshop will have a lesson plan, outlining the presentation, aims and objectives, pupil responses and a list of required materials. Teacher materials will follow the same format, with additional 5-14 Assessment information, suggested development lessons and a resources list. The three main Themes are outlined below, with lesson plans in appropriate media written individually.
