Up to date news:
I have been accepted on to the PGCE Art and Design course at Cardiff Metropolitan University (beginning September 2013).
Balancing a life as an artist whilst pursuing my passion for teaching has been a complex one whilst teaching at Ackworth School. However, it has inspired me to look at not only teaching those who I could potentially directly impact upon, but to look at creating an art resource that will engage learners of all ages and abilities about the arts. The two years at Ackworth School has now come to an end and a new chapter begins.
Doing a PGCE will enable me to understand, more comprehensively, the teaching world from within a class room and school setting.However, my own artistic pursuits will compliment my contribution to those children's learning. Ultimately I aim not to lose sight of why I chose art in the first place, which I have seen so often happen over the years.
