IP 2A Pre-Reading
IP 2A Pre reading; What do these resources add to your understanding of intersectionality? What are the implications for your teaching practice? Compare and contrast the perspectives offered in these resources. How many new terms can you identify from these resources? Are there any implications from these resources for your own practice? What is the…

Reflections on Required Reading Part 6
I chose to read ‘Formative Assessment and self-regulated Learning: a model and seven principles of good feedback practice’ I was especially drawn to the segment about the benefits of peer feedback, the text spoke of the recorded benefits of peer conversations about their academic studies but my lived experience was vastly different. During my primary…

Reflecting on Environmentalism in teaching
During our initial TTP timeline session, I realized I had neglected to add a post-it regarding environmental pledges made by UAL, a decision which greatly affected my course. My course is a technical sculpture course that trains people for multiple industries, but namely the hugely wasteful film industry. Overall film productions have been massively wasteful,…

PGcert Case Study 2
Contextual Background During my CCP unit in 23/24 ‘The Godzilla Suit Project’ I struggled to objectively stick to the marking criteria (LOs) when marking/giving feedback for the unit. This happened because I did a mismatch of marking, attempting a holistic approach when I should have kept it objectively evidence-based and sticking to the LOs’. This…

Reflections on Required Reading Part 5
Text: Learning outcomes and assessment criteria in art and design. What’s the recurring problem? This is a body of text I found really interesting to look through, especially as I just finished marking all of my CCP unit 7 ‘Co-Lab’ Students this morning! Last year during another co-lab project I was running ‘The Godzilla suit…

Reflections on Required Reading Part 4
I found this a very personally pertinent and interesting read as somebody who teaches a technical (or should I say Sloyd) subject like Techincal Arts (as the name implies it’s a technical skill-oriented course). I’ve always been technically minded and focused both as a teacher and as a student, as a student I longed to…

1st Micro teaching reflections
I started my session with my group, John, James, Grace, Jules and Gwen by desperately trying to keep my ball of oil-based ‘monster clay’ warm for my demonstration. I decided to demonstrate a taste of a class I give to the first-year students on tech arts, ‘Foundations of Sculpture and Sculpting the Face’ in which…

Reflections on Required Reading Part 3
Reflections on ‘On the spectrum within art and design academic practice’ Now this one really spoke to me! As an autistic myself I felt immediately drawn to this text, especially the somewhat abstract accompanying graphs and visuals. The whole text reminded me of a camp joke my friends and I would make growing up, if…

Reflections on Required Reading Part 2
Based on my own lived experiences of art education I was immediately drawn to this text more so than the other available options, “the design critique and the moral goods of studio pedagogy” jumped out at me. The discussion around disciplinary differences is the most salient to me, as I’ve been taught and taught in,…

Reflections on Required Reading Part 1
Immediately engaging with the text ‘An a/r/tographic métissage: Storying the self as pedagogic practice’ I found myself enjoying the invoking visuals of ‘threadscape’, imagining all the threads being woven and pulled apart to be rejoined into new colours. I’ve embroidered for many years in my fine art practice, playing with the limits of the threads…
