The most recent biannual Lumiere Festival is such an uplifting public art event that has inspired me. The sun sets by 4.30 p.m. and the crowd streamed in to Durham. Walking around the city centre was very enjoyable in the cool weather. There was even an app developed for this event to help visitors navigate. Art installations were varied and layered with different medium. I also attended an artist's talk where the artists talked about circumventing the on-site restrictions and not diluting their artistic concepts.
Hi! It's the first time that I'm participating in the Arts Education Conference this year. My title for the conference is Art Teachers as Bloggers as it's something I've tried and tested for some years now. Each participant was appointed a mentor to give us feedback. I also have my critical friends to practise our online Zoom sessions.
The session that we were in was known as Pop-Up 10. They were interactive live-streamed sessions conducted via Zoom. Individual arts educators will “pop-up” in each virtual room to share and discuss key ideas, research studies or strategies on how to creatively engage learners in learning.
In my next post, I'll attempt to address some questions which I didn't have time to during the live session. Please check back!
