Brasil! Brasil! The Birth of Modernism
Get inspired by culture and architecture in this primary teachers' continuing professional development workshop.
After a brief visit to our latest exhibition Brasil! Brasil! The Birth of Modernism, join artist and educator Esther Adesigbin to learn about plaster casting, painting, sgraffito, and collage. Use some of these techniques in your own abstract plaster panel.
Discover the works of Rubem Valentim and Geraldo de Barros and draw inspiration from Afro-Brazilian reflections on cultural identity and architectural forms while exploring strategies to integrate these creative processes into your teaching.
This workshop addresses the Western gaze and offers a comparative timeline that interconnects art across cultures, fostering inclusion, creativity, and meaningful cross-curricular connections.
We welcome all levels of art knowledge and particularly welcome state school teachers who would benefit from extra CPD support to teach art at primary level. All materials will be provided.
If this workshop is full and you would like to be added to the waiting list, please email our Learning team
