Tuesday 24 February 2014, 4.30-6.30pm

Join us for our first Teacher Retreat evening of the year where we will introduce you Wysing’s 2015 theme, the Multiverse.

We will explore the creative learning opportunities of this theme together. Artist Rob Smith will lead the informal and practical session with activities designed to inspire your own creativity along with your teaching practice.

Come and join us for our first Teacher Retreat evening of the year where we will introduce the over-arching theme of Wysing’s 2015 programme, the Multiverse, an unverified theory within physics that proposes the potential for a set of multiple universes which together comprise everything that exists.

Bryony Graham, Producer, Children and Young Peoples Programme will introduce cross curricula ways of working with Wysing and explore with you creative learning opportunities that the Multiverse theory presents: fictive, philosophical, artistic and scientific.

Artist Rob Smith will lead on activities designed to inspire your own creativity along with your teaching practice. The session will start with multiple carbon copy drawings, expanding to ideas of multiple (mem)branes of layered realities in relation to the architecture of everyday space, and include playing with perception with 3D photographic processes, photoshop, online tools, apps and anaglyphs.

This is an opportunity to get playful with ideas working cross-curricula with Maths, English, Languages, Art, Philosophy and Science and explore new ideas and approaches that can work with groups of students at Wysing or can be taken back into the classroom.

Participants will also be able to visit our onsite artist studios and work spaces and so understand better how schools, students and Wysing may work together. Rob Smith will provide workshop outlines and resources from this retreat series – Transforming the Everyday.
Refreshments will be provided, tea, coffee and cake on arrival and wine as the evening closes.
Suitable for teachers of any age group and subject.

Places are free. To book please visit our Eventbrite page here.
