SENSORY LEARNING IN THE VISUAL ARTS | HEIDE
Wednesday, 20 September 2017, 9–3.30pm
Rich sensory experiences are fundamental to wellness and healthy development. This experiential workshop aims to bring awareness to our attitudes and preconceptions of creativity. Teachers will gain skills in working with students of different sensory needs, but also, provide a variety of sensory opportunities for all students in their classroom. It supports teachers in achieving standards descriptors 1.6, 1.5 or 4.1 for their VIT registration. The day will include a presentation from Irabina Autism Services and a practical workshop with artist Rebecca Knaggs.
