On Wednesday 29th May, Dr Neil Cocks will be travelling to Gloucester to
join academics from Oxford Brookes at an Art Shape session. Art Shape is a
charity that seeks to increase access to creative experiences for adults
who face barriers to participation.
Neil says:
“Art Shape makes such an excellent contribution to art practice, and I am
very proud to be able to offer my support. The leader of the project I am
contributing to got in touch 6 months ago to ask if I could think of any
innovative ways to approach the teaching of historical context in the arts
and humanities. The idea was to move away from the usual ‘time-line’
approaches. As is so often the case with these kinds of collaborative
projects, the result has had a really positive impact on my own work in
this area. The ideas I have been developing will certainly find their way
into my teaching here at Reading… ‘
