Call for Proposals to participate in the NAFAE AGM and members Forum, 27 March 2009
At the Swedenborg Society, 20-21 Bloomsbury Way London WC1A 2TH

PEDAGOGIES AND PRACTICES

Outline
Following the recent debate questioning the quality of Art education in the pages of Art Monthly and the subsequent symposiums at the ICA in London and the IKON in Birmingham NAFAE will be hosting a forum following the AGM in March 09, to discuss/examine current and emerging attitudes to pedagogical practice, within Fine Art. The aim of this forum is to highlight discipline specific models of good practice and innovative teaching.

NAFAE would particularly welcome proposals for 10 min presentations from academic staff who have recently (over the last 2-6 yrs) become involved in teaching Fine Art at H E level as well as more established teaching practitioners.

Themes

  • the relationship between teaching and assessment
  • the impact of staff research on teaching
  • curriculum development in the context of expanded Fine Arts practice, changes to studio
  • provision and resources
  • approaches to art making and writing
  • barriers to the development of innovative teaching methods
  • the potential of external partnerships to enhance the curriculum
  • embedding professional practice, employability and diversity in the curriculum
  • the benefits and or pitfalls of internationalisation

Following a series of short presentations members will be invited to debate emerging issues.
Brief proposals (no more than 500 words) should be submitted in...
