REVOLUTIONARY DISCUSSION
WE ARE THINKING ABOUT THESE FIVE QUESTIONS AND STATEMENTS: ART IN SCHOOL IS BASED ON A 19TH CENTURY MODEL OF FINE ART PRACTICE (AQUISITION OF SKILL AND TECHNIQUE). COULD WE MOVE ART IN SCHOOLS INTO THE FRAMEWORK OF CONTEMPORARY PRACTICE? COULD ANY ASPECT OF ART MAKING BE APPROACHED FROM THE EXPANDED FIELD OF CONTEMPORARY PRACTICES, THROUGH SOCIAL, CRITICAL, PRACTICAL, PERSONAL AND HISTORICAL...

Mistakes
Fascinating stuff!  The idea of science experiments to show some form of process and then to create a work - or documentation - was very inspiring.  It feeds really well into a number of tick boxes, if thats what one is after, but also seems to me to be an exciting way of engaging students…..I wonder too if the idea of technology as a record really does open up the debate within school of...

Questions from Day 1: Questions Day
1) How can we make students validate their process? 2) What is the relationship between skills and process? 3) What Live Art is in the Tate collection? 4) How do we support students who might want to, for instance, present a dialogue as their final GCSE piece? 5) What opportunities does technology offer in terms of changing roles in the classroom e.g. the students know more about this than the...

REPLY FROM HARUN, EMMA'S COMMENTS IN CAPITALS
Hi Emma, I did start to work from a timetable but that’s probably too constrictive at this stage: Monday, should probably be largely about making the group bond as a unit and communicating to them how we’d want to work with them over the coming week. Therefore I suggest the morning is about various bonding exercises and games. I think the games could be part of the toolbox. As physical...

THE FIRST MEETING
Summer Institute 2009 Meeting One Emma Hart, Leanne Turvey and Susan Sheddan HOW TO INHABIT AND TRACK PROCESS IN THE CLASSROOM “I’d like to challenge the way art is taught in schools by more focus on process, not outcomes – how can you evaluate a process? How do you mark a process? And keep it still as a process, not a presentation of a process?” Possible paths Interventions...
