Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of facilitating a CPD session for an experienced team of gallery educators at the Courtauld Gallery, who are currently running outreach sessions in schools whilst the Gallery is closed for redevelopment. I devised activities that included a brainstorm around making contemporary connections to key artworks in the Courtauld Collection, and a discussion on classroom management issues. As usual in my CPD sessions, we used a lot of flip chart paper, postits & coloured pens. And from the feedback their favourite activity was ‘throw the question!’
