We love working with our amazing arts and cultural partners and are thrilled that we will be delivering this training session on sculpture with Alison Smith from the Henry Moore Institute.   The session is for primary teachers and will be suitable for Art subject leaders or classroom teachers.

The training will explore different types of sculpture.   There will be lots of practical activities to develop delegates understanding of materials and how this aspect of art can be taught in the primary classroom.   We will explore key art work from the Henry Moore Institute and Leeds Art Gallery and model how these can be used as a stimulus for learning.   For further information and to book your place, please visit Leeds for Learning.
