Course summary

MA Arts and Education Practices is designed for the artist educator who wants to develop and refine their skills in working with others through artistic practice. The course aims to engage students with education as a practice of freedom (Hooks, Bell. 1994), and as a site of growth and transformation. Based within Birmingham School of Art, we provide a unique platform to work as a community comprising of both experienced and aspiring artist educators engaging with the challenges and rewards of contemporary creative education. Working with specialists, you will connect with the diverse contexts in which creative education takes place: community projects, artist-led spaces, galleries, schools, colleges, universities, and peer-to-peer and family-led learning. The course embeds skills to enable you to work across projects exploring the creative pedagogical models that inform both artistic practice and teaching and learning. You will explore the potential for freelance and permanent employment in creative education to enhance your own practice equipping you with specialist skills to use in the world. Focus is given to self-development through collaborative work and exploring spaces of lifelong learning and creative pedagogical models. Your studies will engage with the potential for artistic practice to inform teaching and learning and how in turn work can be informed by your own experiences and engagements with pedagogy.
