"Creativity now is as important in education as literacy and we should treat it with the same status."
- Sir Ken Robinson (Internationally Renowned Speaker on Education & Creativity)
The 'Invent' workshops are for junior primary school aged children who benefit from art activities in so many ways. Research suggests that there is a correlation between participation in regular art experiences and success academically in other areas.
Those who attend will have the opportunity to experiment with different materials and techniques and create art pieces that express their unique ideas and imagination. Children will be able to use their interests as inspiration for their creations and make decisions about art work that they might like to pursue in an ongoing project. Workshops will allow students the chance to develop many skills with a strong focus on problem-solving, creative thinking. persistence and independence. Children will be encouraged to share their ideas, inspirations, experiences and creations with others which will allow them to develop their language, communication and social skills.
