Art & Literacy: Creative Learning

About this Online Workshop

Engage, inspire and empower your students through our Art and Literacy: Creative Learning professional learning workshop. Designed for primary school classroom and art teachers, this hands-on workshop provides meaningful, engaging and accessible ways to integrate literacy and the arts.
 
With a strong focus on culturally responsive and inclusive teaching, it embeds cross-curricular connections to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures.
 
Explore inclusive, individualised and creative teaching strategies that enhance student engagement and learning outcomes across the curriculum. Discover how to provide rich, multimodal learning experiences that develop essential skills in viewing, comprehending, reading, writing, and responding to both texts and artworks.

Aligning with text-to-text, text-to-self, and text-to-world connections, the strategies presented help students analyse and respond at literal, inferential and evaluative levels. Research highlights that students learn best when they make meaningful connections between their learning and their own lives.
 
Through practical, hands-on sessions throughout the day, you will design, sculpt, paint, print, draw and stitch, gaining the confidence and skills to bring a diverse range of creative activities into your classroom.

Suitable for Classroom and/or Art Room teachers.
