Using Printmaking to Underpin the Curriculum for Excellence (360G-phf-38590.01)

The Peacock and the Worm will develop accessible printing practices to inform cross-curricular, arts-based pedagogies with small schools across rural Aberdeenshire. Processes will scaffold visual literacy, promote a growth mindset and will challenge perceptions of how visual arts operate by embedding printing across curricula. Printmaking will be utilised to meet the needs of children, especially in composite classes with mixed skill levels, as an art form with buildable skills, such as pattern finding, measuring, proportion with wide applications from conveying information, to design and illustration.
