The programme
Creativity in the Classroom – 
Art CPD for Teachers
We are delighted to introduce the third event in our new CPD programme with a fantastic workshop led by local artist and art educator Mark Riley.
The Creativity in the Classroom – 
Art CPD for Teachers
 
programme is a series of practical CPD workshops for primary teacher. Led by artists, academics and art practitioners, the workshops focus on learning new skills and techniques in the visual arts for you to take back to the classroom.
What will Mark’s workshop involve?
This session will develop your skills and confidence in teaching art techniques that engage and motivate all children and that are proven to be especially impactful for pupils with Special Educational Needs.
The workshop will be led by Mark Riley, an artist and art educator with an expertise and wide experience of working in mainstream primary schools, PRUs and special needs settings.
Mark will share the creative approaches he uses to enthuse pupils to: increase their expressive art making skills and knowledge, to make decisions and think for themselves and to create unique artworks.
Mark will work alongside Arts Connect’s Becky Thompson, a qualified art teacher with 15 years of experience of working in schools.
