20-21 Teachers' Group Have Their First Meeting

Developed on feedback from teachers across North Lincolnshire schools, the 20-21 Teachers' Group is a space for arts educators across all sectors and Key Stages to meet, share ideas and learn skills in the arts.


The first Teachers' Group session on 14th October was delivered by artist Dominic Heffer. He focused on improving drawing skills, in line with The Big Draw, and helped to prepare teachers for work back in the classroom.



The first session, full of fantastic, useful ideas, went down well with teachers;

"Very informative. Lovely atmosphere. Super interaction with others. Expert, exciting knowledge, super delivery. Many thanks, a very enjoyable experience."

"Superb workshop with excellent instruction. I feel much more confident about trying drawing activities in school myself now." 


The second session, due to take place in January, will be delivered by artist, Linda Ingham, who will focus on improving painting skills. The third and final session of the academic year will take place in April and artist Alexis Rago will lead it to coincide with Anthony Gormley's, The Field, here at 20-21 Visual Arts Centre. Alexis will deliver something entirely different to the previous sessions and will focus on using clay.
