Below are some quotes from delegates who attended the creative workshops linked to our “Picture This!” project. As you will see, the day was an unqualified success.
“Lots of creative and practical ideas and advice to use in the classroom. Also, useful being able to talk to other teachers about how they will use the picture”.
“Lots of ideas and new techniques. Help with an area I’ve not much idea with.”
“More art courses like this with practical elements would be great”.
“It will give us several ideas to help us lead workshops as we introduce the project to our staff.”
“The workshops have helped to inspire us when we come to make cross-curricular links. Thank you.”
“Actually working through examples of making things for myself has been really useful. I can feel a ‘hands on’ staff meeting coming on! The sculpture and textiles ideas were brilliant and I now feel really confident in teaching a dance routine.”
“Fortunately, we had four teachers here and I think we have all felt the benefit. Other schools might be prompted to send more members of staff than one to a practical workshop session like this. It was just perfect!”
“An excellent day. The ICT session was full of useful information. Dance was fun and inspiring. It will encourage me to use dance as a creative vehicle during the project.”
“Inspiring! Excellent! Fabulous course – really enjoyed my day!”
"Very useful – don’t get many opportunities for courses in these areas of the curriculum. Drama and music sessions were great. Provided plenty of ideas to go with picture. I would have liked it to be a two day course so we could have had a go at everything. Enjoyable day – it made a change!”
“The workshops were very practical and allowed us to try out new things. Really useful. We will plan using some of the ideas we have been given today. Hopefully, this will trigger more ideas from the rest of the Staff. Thank you!”
