Chisenhale Gallery continues to be an essential resource for the local formal education sector. The Schools strand emphasises engagement with contemporary art through equal exploration of both ideas and processes.
Chisenhale Gallery offers three strategies for working with primary schools; an artist residency in local primary schools scheme, school visits to the gallery and resource packs for teachers, to be utilised in the classroom. The residency programme aims to broaden pupils’ understanding of what can constitute an artwork and to encourage collaboration. The children try out new skills, explore new materials, and develop their critical abilities in an encouraging and open atmosphere.
Currently Chisenhale Gallery is working on a long term secondary school project. A Sense of Place is a pionnering flagship exchange programme for three secondary schools local to Chisenhale Gallery and for artists with specific interests in collectivism, collaboration and direct engagement with social and cultural contexts. We also offer individual school and college visits to the gallery and workshops.
The schools strand reaches a wide range of young people, teachers and teaching support staff as well as offering opportunities for artists to develop their professional profile and experience.
Artists who have worked on this strand have included; Public Works, Simon & Tom Bloor, Harold Offeh, Holly & Ben, Anna Lucas, Faisal Abdu’Allah, Barby Asante, Anna Lucas, Kay Stark, Lottie Child, Yara El Sherbini, Daniel Wallis, Daniel Lehan, Ruth Ewan and Amalia Pica.
