Nurturing Creativity
Teacher as Artist, Artist as Teacher
Jump-start your school year at the Arts Up Front Conference
Saturday 24 February 2018
9am - 3.30pm
ANU School of Music and School of Art
The Instrumental Music Program is proud to present the seventh Arts Up Front Conference, welcoming arts educators, generalist primary and early childhood teachers from the ACT and regional NSW for a day of inspiration, information & Arts Practice.
The arts are vital in the cognitive and creative development of young people. This conference values teachers both for their role in this process, and as arts practitioners themselves, by providing quality professional learning opportunities and a forum where teachers from all levels of schooling can come together to listen, create, share and network with colleagues.
The day begins with a welcome address with a nationally acclaimed yoga teacher, Robyn Lewis, and a performance by the ACT Primary and Senior Concert Choirs. We follow this with three workshop sessions with artists, educators and industry professionals - designed to inspire, inform and invigorate your practice.
A day for Arts Learning, Arts Making and Arts Fun.
