The Creative Self, professional development event for teachers
Nature of Seeing with Cliff Wright
Saturday 8 October, 10am-4.30pm
“There is no such thing as a bad drawer, there is just bad seeing”.
Cliff Wright
Cliff Wright is a Sussex-based illustrator, painter, sculptor and teacher, well-known for his work on two of the Harry Potter book covers.
Over many years teaching hundreds of sessions, Cliff has witnessed how the simple act of drawing can be a doorway to the world. He encourages participants to leave behind their preconceived ideas of what they see, and of how “good” or “bad” they think they are at drawing. Instead he encourages participants to explore beyond the everyday vision, to find out what real seeing actually is, freeing up the drawer in everyone.
Cliff’s professional development workshop at The Ark will give teachers a chance to develop their own drawing skills in an enjoyable way and to discuss how Cliff’s techniques can be applied in a classroom setting.
The day will close with a question and answer session, and resource material will be available for all participants.
