QATA conference feedback 2023
THANKYOU, this workshop provided great ideas and resources to take back to school.
Session was great for my own artist practice, but also for my teaching practice – teaching skills and techniques to students to help with being reflective in their art practice.
It was very interesting and engaging to explore the presenter’s process and consider an alternative approach for making. The art historical backwards mapping she engages in is an excellent example for Visual Art students.
Really enjoyed the artist talk and highly relevant to the General Visual Art syllabus giving teachers further insights into the artists practice.
