CPD Programme in Visual Art for Primary Teachers 2012.
The theme for this year’s CPD programme in Visual Art for Primary teachers is “Literacy and Numeracy through Visual Art”. A workshop has been developed on this theme for each of the six strands in the Visual Art curriculum. The content of each workshop has been devised by Máire Quirke, the Primary CPD facilitator, based on a survey of Primary teachers needs in Visual Art.

Advanced Drawing
Participants will be introduced to a number of drawing techniques using mixed-media and a variety of drawing instruments, within the beautiful setting of Castletown House Co. Kildare. The workshop will allow participants to explore observation drawing through still life arrangements, aspects of the surrounding environment and details of the human figure.

A variety of construction techniques will be introduced as a basis to forming both representational and non-representational structures with an emphasis on shape, form, balance, space and texture.

Participants will explore and discover the possibilities of clay through a variety of techniques that include coil and slab building. The workshop will give participants the opportunity to experiment with additive and subtractive decorative techniques in high and low relief while also encouraging participants to discover the possibilities of clay as a form of imaginative expression.
