Arts in Education Over the past twelve years Oliver West has been working within all tiers of education; as well as being a university lecturer, he has broad experience of working with early years, primary, middle and high school students throughout the U.K. and Europe. He has developed a portfolio of workshops and projects which range in depth and duration; they are designed to fit around an existing curriculum, and can be adapted to meet the needs of a specific school department. Whether you are looking for an Artist in Residence or a facilitator for a short-term art activity, Oliver West offers his broad teaching experience and friendly approach to ensure the success of your project.
Residencies vary in length from one day to two weeks, with activities ranging from one hour printmaking workshops for younger pupils to two day masterclass intaglio printmaking workshops for Years 10-18 and Adults. Oliver often combines Arts projects with 'Footnotes', his Visual Thinking workshops; this can help to finance the Residence across English and Learning Support Departments.
