You needn't be in Norwich to take MA Creative Education, as it's run online. But if you happen to be around Sat 30th we have an Open Day from 10am. I'll be there to chat about radical approaches to teaching art all morning (just a typical Saturday morning for me, then). #creativeeducation #postgrad

I have a review of Keith Sawyer’s fascinating book Learning To See in the Dec/Jan issue of @artmonthly.bsky.social magazine. And this prompted me to think of the key books on learning and teaching that I am always recommending to staff at Norwich University of the Arts. #CreativeEducation

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

The new episode of my podcast on practice-led research in the arts interviews the award-winning Danish illustrator Christian Petersen. His research asks what happens when visual communication leaves the studio? With case studies on Joan Didion and Paul Hymann. #practicephd mwilsher.podbean.com
