Artist In Residence
Barbara works as a freelance visual communicator and as a visual artist in Primary schools, early years settings and with local art galleries and museums.
Her workshops and projects are designed to meet the needs of schools and settings, offering creative approaches to learning in cross curricular ways but can target literacy, numeracy and science and have always provided positive PSE benefits.
The emphasis is on child-initiated learning, often through exploring materials and objects, offered a provocations to stimulate own ideas and creative play. Independent thinking, problem solving, team work, and confidence-building are found to be outcomes of this type of work. Project work could be indoor or outdoors and recent work has involved collaboration with forest School co-ordinators.
The capturing and documenting of the creative process to reflect, inform, share and celebrate project work is an integral part of the workshop and residency practice and serves to provide powerful evidence of development and learning.
Barbara has worked with KS1 and KS2 pupils on project work where creative approaches to learning are explored with teachers and pupils.
