Using Ephemeral Arts for School Projects:
How can artistic outcomes be used to create case studies for secondary school students working on their GCSE coursework assessments?
Here is an easy competition for teachers and artists. Write a Memo not exceeding 500 words and send it to me by email. The task that you have to work on is outlined below:
You have to examine two pictures of Ephemeral Arts and study the background in which it is created and the purpose of the artistic output. One, known as the Arti Thali is shown below. Reference is provided to Tibetan Mandalas. State how you would use these pictures and ephemeral arts in general to help GCSE students to use and understand time-based culture as a project for their coursework.
CLOSING DATE: 25th November 2009
The best submission gets a book token of £20.00 and a free entry to the forthcoming Mirador Online Training Programme called Celebrating Ephemeral Arts: A Learning and Skills Programme with practical benefits. The normal price of the module is expected to be £225.00.
Your Memo will be published here and four other runner up submissions will also be added as separate pages.
Any further queries relating to the competition are available, on request. Please send me an email: kalwant.ajimal@btinternet.com
