Glasgow
In every society, the use of colour acts as a universal and highly accessible sign making system. We accord colour with meaning; these meanings are often socially and culturally codified, for example, the symbolic use of colour in religious observances, or in cultural traditions, or to support social conventions such as stopping at a red traffic light. Furthermore, we also experience and respond to colour in ways that are deeply personal, affective, and subjective.
Come and join us at SCILT HQ, Glasgow on Tuesday 24 September for an inspiring session of professional learning where we will explore creative ways in which to support languages, art and multilingualism in the classroom. Open to all primary teachers and student teachers, this in-person workshop will explore the integration of art within a languages context that includes all languages, taught, spoken and signed. We will explore how to use colour as a mediating space for exploring language and culture and there will be an opportunity to engage in practical activities that focus on colour, the process of marking making, dialogue and language.
This workshop will be hosted by the Multilingualism through Art (MtA) team, which includes colleagues from SCILT, University of Strathclyde and the University of Glasgow. It will take place on Tuesday 24 September from 4 – 5.15pm in the Ramshorn Building at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow.
