Adinkra: a cross-curricular project on values & identity –
This exhibition shows how traditional Adinkra cloth printing from Ghana can be used as a starting point for an exploration of pupils’ own values and identity, while also developing their understanding of the links between Britain and Ghana. It includes examples of children’s work on collaborative class wallhangings in West Berkshire schools.

artefacts

Using Artefacts Across the Curriculum - a fascinating artefact for every curriculum area, with background information telling the story of each artefact and the artisan who made it. This exhibition indicates curriculum links and suggests ideas on how to make the most of artefacts.


Beyond Masks and Drumming – for those teachers who are tired of only looking at traditional and sometimes stereotypical art from the continent of Africa, this ‘one of a kind’ exhibition draws on work by local schools in Berkshire and Reading University student teachers to explore the work of key contemporary Africa artists, all of whom were chosen because of their innovative work with reclaimed materials. With examples of children’s work inspired by the artists, and images of the artists work.
