School workshops

After we had planned our lessons we had to present them to the head of art at King David High school.

Mrs Waxman would then let us know which workshops she feels are appropriate for the classes we can work with- and if we need to adapt anything to accommodate for the kids in the class, the varying ages and abilities.

Here are some of my notes that I used to demonstrate the workshops to her.

Throughout the process of organising to run workshops, the lessons needed to be swapped around and adjusted. This even occurred on the days of the lessons- We had to be adaptable and work with what was available, which I was more then happy to do so as the school was giving us this opportunity.

Mrs Waxman really liked my lesson plan using the display boards and string : What makes you feel. She also really liked the lesson plan using the pupils fingerprints and focusing on identity. Unfortunately my Kintsugi lesson plan using egg shells was not short listed – but I would like to archive this idea to use it in the future as I feel it holds a valuable lesson for life.

To run the lessons we needed to make sure we were both DBS checked, and thank fully we both have enhanced certificates which allows us to work with vulnerable people such as children and young people.
