If you’re a teacher or educator wondering how to talk about contemporary art with young learners, join Neil Walton, Subject Leader for PGCE Art & Design at Goldsmiths, Trish Scott, Engagement Curator at the CCA and secondary school art teacher Nuno Reis Moreira for some suggestions.

At this session we will examine a specific case study; the CCA’s upcoming exhibition of Mohamed Bourouissa’s work ‘HARa!!!!!!hAaaRAAAAA!!!!!hHAaA!!!’.

Through introducing Bourouissa’s work within a framework of big ideas about art, we will consider what makes his work ‘contemporary’ and provide some practical strategies for engaging with his art practice in the classroom.

This event is a follow on from ‘Embedding Contemporary Art in the Curriculum I‘, which set out a general framework for thinking about art in the classroom.

Within the session there will be time to reflect on your own classroom practice and needs, and ask questions and share ideas for how we might continue to support you over the coming year.

This event will take place online. Book via the ‘tickets’ link below. You will be emailed with information on joining the conversation a day before the session is due to take place.
