NEW : CREATIVE KETE video and materials pack to your door

CREATIVE KETE
Corban Estate Arts Centre’s Education team offers a creative solution to support the use of arts practice in learning. Creative Kete is a video series developed to provide the delivery of art workshops to schools and home learning environments, Creative Kete provides you with all the ingredients to run a workshop from your own classroom /or for students isolating at home.

Each 'Kete' contains:

access to an instructional video
a lesson plan
support resources
and art making materials prepared and portioned for each student

Pre-session support with our tutors is available.
VIEW TRAILER HERE
Creative Kete retains the fundamentals of our Schools Education kaupapa, which is to help guide students through a process that allows them the freedom to make their own creative decisions while introducing new learning pathways into the process of artmaking.
Te Ao Maori is regularly acknowledged at the centre of our workshop development, which often incorporates indigenous technologies and craft techniques, atua, and other storytelling elements to explore aspects of NZ national and local history, culture and identity, in line with the New Zealand Education curriculum.

The theme and lesson for this inaugural Creative Kete episode is titled: 'Reimagining the Landscape', a painting workshop that challenges traditional notions of landscape painting.
The instructional video guides students through three processes that are designed to encourage a unique and playful approach to painting, resulting in the creation of an individual work that depicts each student’s reimagined landscape. The three steps are designed to fit into the school day (or across multiple days at your discretion) and would ideally be completed over 2 to 3 sessions.

1/ Re-imagining the Landscape

Age Range: YNE-Y8
Time: A 30 Minute video presentation divided into 3 stages of activity, to suit your timetable requirements.
A full lesson plan is provided, along with print resources for display and/or distribution to the class.
Art materials pack available - designed for your school requirements.

There will also be discussions around concept and personalisation in order to find their own unique voice when painting. Examples of contemporary painters will be used to start this discussion, as a way to showcase the different uses of abstraction across an array of art practices, and encourage the students to start thinking outside of ‘artist models’ and more towards how they can fit amongst the framework of contemporary New Zealand painting.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

At Corban Estate Arts Centre we are serious about the arts and the role it plays in education. We believe in passing on knowledge and skills to anyone who is interested and that means adults as well as children and young people.

In our Professional Development capacity, we develop workshops to suit your team's needs - covering a wide range of skills from Māori visual arts to oil painting, printmaking, ceramics and mixed media.

We can deliver individual masterclasses, a series of sessions over the term, or once-a-month all year long. Our professional development programme is diverse and multi-dimensional, and will offer teachers the opportunity to explore and experiment with techniques, materials and a broad range of outcomes.

Contact us today to learn more and we can help design a programme around your team's professional development needs.

SECONDARY SCHOOL PROGRAMMES

In addition to our Primary School offerings, did you know we also provide customised programmes for Intermediate and High schools?

From a one-hour Gallery Tour to a full-day programme, we even can organise workshops with artists to match your curriculum needs. Extend technical knowledge with specialist artist workshops, or tour studios and talk with on-site practising artists.

Recent specialist workshops have included life-drawing classes, graffiti workshops, textile design and print, oil painting techniques, sculpture tours, and curator talks.
