I have practiced as an
artist for over ten years and during this time I spent two years studying a Youth
and Community course at Goldsmiths. Since completing the course in 2009 I have worked
as a youth worker, learning mentor, teaching assistant and have organised and
facilitated community art projects in my spare time.
My aim is to gain a BA
with a title that will enable me to most affectively reach my goal of becoming
an art teacher. I would like my title to also reflect my past experience and expertises’.
I am in the process of
looking into undertaking a GTP Training Programme and therefore mindful that
the BA title must enable me to do this.
I am really interested
in reading what other people think about the three title options. I am hoping
that the feedback I receive will help me with the process towards making the
final proposal.
The initial options for
my BA award title are as follows:
1)
BA Hons Professional Practice in Visual Art
Education
2)
BA Hons Professional Practice in Fine Art
3)
BA Hons Professional Practice in Community
Arts Education.
Option 1
I feel that option one clearly
expresses my intention of becoming an art teacher.
Option 2
This option captures the
experience and expertise I have gained as an artist.
Option 3
This option includes the
experience I have gained working in community arts and youth work projects.
Goog starts - the whole point here is to get ideas that you have to time to consider within the module. What about just community arts?
ReplyDeleteThanks Paula,
ReplyDeleteMy background and passion is in community arts, but I feel that I need to have 'education' or a word that links directly to teaching in the award title.
I have been a youth worker facilitating community arts for some time and I feel that I want to move on into teaching in a school environment.
Thanks for your comment. I will keep thinking on this with an open mind.
Thulani.
