Examples of Enterprising teachers in Art

• At Ursuline High School in Wimbledon, Enterprise
  skills are embedded into the curriculum of all
  subjects. The following presentation highlights
  not just the use of Enterprising skills by
  students who worked in the local community and
  local primary schools but also put on, which they
  planned from scratch, their own exhibition held
  in Baker street. The following presentation
  demonstrates Enterprising teaching in Art at
  Ursuline.

• St Peter and Paul Primary School
• Wall mural Project.
• St Peter and Paul primary school contacted the
  art department with a challenge.
• Their playground needed a facelift, the
  playground walls were bare and uninspiring.
• A competition was run for Year 8 pupils to
  produce images for the wall design. Jessica
  Higgings design was chosen, the winner and three
  runners up were taken to the primary school to
  draw out the design on day one. On day two, Sixth
  formers worked with year 5 and 6 pupils to paint
  the design.

Laurens story

• I worked with two year six pupils and both were
  excited to do some painting. We worked together
  as a team painting the numbers and circles. this
  was a good experience for me because i Iearnt how
  to communicate with pupils younger than myself
  which is useful considering I want to work with
  children in the future.

Emilys Story

• The Baker Street exhibition was a unique
  opportunity for me to learn about organising an
  exhibition. As a team we produced the invitations
  which were sent to parents, staff, and governors.
  We raised money between us to cater for wines.
  We descended on Baker street gallery to hang our
  work in a professional manner and price our work.
  
• The exhibition was a huge success and the
  private viewing was well attended.
• I felt confident about discussing my work with
  the public.

Graces Story

• We were given the opportunity to display our
  work in a gallery in baker street. This was a
  fantastic opportunity to learn how to display my
  work and talk about it to the public. This is
  excellent experience for me as I need to be able
  to present my work with confidence when applying
  for art college courses. It also looks fantastic
  on my CV.

Baker Street Exhibition Sixth Form and year 11
Pupils had the opportunity to exhibit their work
thanks to a business and enterprise link. Sixth
formers learnt how to display and hang their own
work. They had to explain their work and ideas to
guests at the private view.

In conclusion the use of business and enterprise
links has helped us to gain more experience with
art in the working world. And has shown us that
art is not simply confined to our sketchbooks.
