Artists in Schools
Programme
Artists in Schools residencies help students and teachers explore the creative process, share ideas and develop their artistic practice. The students are encouraged to form and express opinions and responses to artworks in the classroom and on a visit to Manchester Art Gallery. Working closely with the artists, students and teachers experiment with techniques including drawing, illustration, casting, sculpture, photography and digital manipulation.
The students develop skills as independent learners through enquiry-based learning and critical and reflective thinking. They also gained first-hand experience of the creative industries through working with professional artists. The work they produce documents the students’ artistic journeys as they develop emotional and visual language, take artistic risks, gain confidence and enjoy the creative process.
