National Galleries of Scotland would like to invite teachers and educators for a guided tour of The Nation//Live exhibition at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery on Wednesday 22 January 2014 @ 5.15 – 7pm.
The Nation//Live has been developed with communities across Scotland in conjunction with contemporary artists and filmmakers, exploring key moments in Scotland’s history through artworks from the national collection. The project was split into five regional encounters: Work in Clydebank, Union in Inverness, Faith on the Isle of Skye, Civil War in Dumfries and Galloway and Roots with migrants living across Scotland. NGS would like explore how the outcomes from this project could be of use to teachers of art, citizenship and history.
Please email Joanna Mawdsley, Schools Education Officer jmawdsley@nationalgalleries.org for more information or if you would like to attend.
Starcatchers are delivering a free training programme in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Fife, South Lanarkshire and Inverclyde as part of a pilot project to develop creative skills for early years workers in Scotland which is being supported by the Scottish Government and Creative Scotland.
The programme will allow early years workers from a range of sectors to build their understanding of the importances of creativity in early years and through a series of artist-led practical sessions, will offer skills and techniques that practitioners can use when they are working with children and families directly.
They are currently recruiting participants for the project, all the information is on their website here: http://www.starcatchers.org.uk/creative-skills/creative-skills-early-years-practitioners
