Text/art walks can be built around cross-curriculum activities to suit your needs: we can use themes such as: local history, geography, dialect, folklore, healthy lifestyles, identity, green issues and biodiversity. arthur+martha will develop proposals specific to the needs of your pupils and will run workshops tailored to your school.
We will create work with students that stimulates creative approaches to writing and to ideas of poetry making, particularly ideas about how a poem can exist off the page, and investigate where art and poetry merge.
‘A Walk’ can build upon classroom experience, students will produce new work that enhances the units already being taught. A walk, creates an opportunity for students to meet professional artists and writers, to learn about contemporary art and experience at first hand some of the techniques, materials and approaches employed in current artistic practice.
arthur+martha can tailor workshops to suit individual requirements: whether you're looking for a half-day workshop, a week-long project or a much longer-term residency project, arthur+martha can help.
We are happy to discuss your inital ideas and make suggestions regarding dates, themes and practicalities etc, over the phone on 01663 744113 or by emailing admin@loisblackburn.co.uk From then we will be in touch, so we can make a bespoke plan to meet the needs of your students and organisation.
All our artists are CRB vetted.
The National Curriculum programmes of study states:
• An artist in your school will help students develop skills for investigating and making, and knowledge and understanding.
• An artist in your school will offer your students the chance to experience different approaches to art, poetry, writing, craft and design, working in groups, classes or individually.
• An artist and writer in your school will help students to develop visual perception, language and literacy.
• An artist in your school will encourage students to experiment with alternative materials, tools and techniques, whilst remaining in accordance with health and safety requirements.
• Finally, and perhaps most importantly, an artist in your school will enable students to be introduced to artists, writers, craftspeople and designers, thereby developing their appreciation of the richness of our diverse cultural heritage.
