This self-paced on-line course is aimed at teachers who would like to foster deeper knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the various media within the ‘Visual Arts’ curriculum.

Sample lessons within each media will embody and foster good classroom practice that could inform each participants’ subsequent classroom practice. Media studied include drawing, painting, printing, clay & construction and fabric & fibre.

The on-line format of the course enables you to study when and where you want to learn. Content is divided into 5 modules which you can complete in any order between July 1st and August 27th 2010.

Participants are encouraged to interact with one another using the communication tools (forum, chat, e-mail) provided by the CPD College learning system. Active facilitation throughout the course provides expert interaction, guidance and feedback for all participants. Assignments and questions which call for critical reflection, self-analysis and a reasoned response punctuate this highly interactive web based course.

On completion of the course the participant will be presented with their own time record, excercise content and approval by the course facilitator as their CPD record to keep.
