Are you an educator who wants to build your knowledge and confidence with visual arts?
The materials and environments that we provide for children to explore visual arts are crucial to their feelings of satisfaction and to the release of creativity. Access to a qualified art educator in every service would be amazing, but the reality is, that most educators have little to no specific art training. Does that mean the children in our care will miss out on opportunities? Absolutely not!
This inspiring package will have educators clamouring to return to their work with children, filled with new ideas and strategies for supporting creativity and exploration. We’ll play with how to set up art spaces that invite big ideas, brave mess and genuine experimentation, while you quietly scaffold skills like grip, control, mixing and mark-making in the background.
Teams will be provided with opportunities to explore practical ways in which we can provide opportunities and environments for visual art. You’ll also explore simple, meaningful ways to document the process so families (and assessors) can see the rich thinking that happens long before the paint dries.
