DLWP INSTALLATIONS

Working up your ideas:

Arts Champions, following your last meeting at Parkhurst Hall in Bexhill, Ashley and the HRAEN steering group spent time looking over the proposals you pitched for art intervations at the De La Warr Pavilion. Can I just say we loved them all and can see some exciting collaborations between projects developing.
The thoughts we had have been fed back to your teachers. Please have a chat about the suggestions given and do please come back to us (via  your lead teacher or through our Facebook group) if you have any further thoughts or questions.

Please don't forget to work on your Arts Manifestos they are of fundanmental importance!! Examples to help you move them forward are given below.

WHY I'M STANDING AGAINST MICHAEL GOVE

Art Party Manifesto by Bob and Roberta Smith (follwing extract taken from the website:

In my manifesto I will argue that:
  • No school should be allowed to offer a curriculum without art, music, drama, dance and design at GCSE and A-level.
  • Ofsted must include arts subjects as part of its assessment of schools. No school can possibly be considered “outstanding” unless it offers art, music, drama, dance and design.
  • All children must study at least one arts subject at GCSE.
  • Postgraduate training for art teachers should be enriched, not eroded.
  • All primary-level teachers must be trained in art, craft and music.
  • “Artist educators” should be supported – that is, professional artists who teach while also developing their own art practice.
