Sketchbooks as Tools for Transformation
A symposium for teachers by the Henry Moore Foundation & AccessArt
Sketchbooks As Tools for Transformation is a welcoming symposium for teachers of all key stages and all levels of experience, including those who may not usually attend conferences or arts events. Led by AccessArt and the Henry Moore Foundation in their studios at Perry Green, the day will explore how sketchbooks provide pupils with a powerful opportunity for exploration, experimentation, transformation and reflection, nurturing curiosity and creativity in all learners.
Set within the context of Henry Moore’s work and legacy at the stunning Perry Green studios, the symposium will also consider how artists use drawing and sketchbooks to develop ideas over time, observing, collecting, revisiting and reshaping thoughts and learning through material exploration. Supported by AccessArt extensive expertise in this area, participants will have the opportunity to connect Moore’s processes with contemporary approaches to creative learning, discovering ways sketchbooks can support deeper engagement, inclusivity and creative independence across all phases and settings.
Our aim is that teachers return inspired and refreshed, with practical strategies to take back to the classroom.
