Creative Partnership projects are funded by the DFES and managed by the Arts Council of Great Britain. They are designed to pair up a School and a Creative Practitioner to address a need of the school. Schools initially from Urban environments would submit a question that they would like to be addressed that identifies an area that they feel would benefit from developing and thus benefiting the learning experience of students. This is organised by local authorities.
The projects have been extended to rural communities via Creative Learning Projects.
Walgrave Primary
This project was about working with the Gifted and Talented students from different year groups gathered together into one class for the duration of the two week project. The school wished to extend the students potential enabling them to surpass their self perceived potential.
Through a series of multi media workshops that were based on the different aspects of installation art the students devised projects for themselves in small groups that were based on contrasting rural and urban environments. Working within a group but with independent responsibilities students explored drama, photography, sound, projections, slide shows, basic short film making and editing.Creative Literacy was a formative part of the project.
Each group shared their project with the rest of the school on the last day. |
