This was the final culmination of a teachers cpd session I did at Two Mile Ash primary school several months ago. The session involved showing teachers some basic art skills that they could then use in class with their Year 4 students. I showed them how to do experimental group painting on large sheets of paper, getting very messy with sponges, nailbrushes, exfoliating gloves and other household items - anything but paint brushes basically! I then showed them how they could turn the results into the basis for more artwork - by drawing on top, or cutting the paintings up into recognisable images. The school were doing two projects at the time - one on MK architecture and another on the Romans. On seeing the results at the exhibition, I was pleased to see they had used the cpd session to influence both topics, drawing beautiful Roman ruins onto some of the paintings and cutting some of the others up into lots of familiar buildings from around MK. It was really rewarding to finally see the results of my cpd session and the different angles teachers had taken on what they had learnt. From the look of the photos in the exhibition, it seems the children had a great time too, which is of course the main thing!
