Brief description
This module provides a practical grounding in art gallery education. It will take place in the Arts Centre, School of Art, Ceredigion Museum, National Library of Wales and with participating schools. Students are introduced to the various forms of education delivered by practicing artists in art galleries, museums, schools and community projects, etc. Through a practical and interactive programme, the aim is to help prepare students for a career as a professional practicing artist.

There will be opportunities to observe workshop sessions with schools at the participating galleries.
