Educator Professional Learning: The Shape of Things to Come

Educators are invited to a special professional development event at SAM, offering a unique chance to connect with peers while exploring new exhibition The Shape of Things to Come and its bespoke education resources for both primary and secondary levels.

Focusing on key themes including the environment, climate change, and collective action, the exhibition and its resources offer valuable tools for educators across both Humanities and the Visual Arts. This session, led by SAM Staff, takes you on a tour of the exhibition, delving into the artists, creative practices, and mediums on display and helps to create connections and ideas that can be carried into the classroom.

Participants will also engage in a hands-on workshop using the activities designed in the education resource. Lunch will be provided on the day.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:

Featuring large-scale loan works and objects from the SAM Collection, The Shape of Things to Come presents a selection of evocative and inspiring artworks that invite us to think about the future, through both fantastical apocalyptic visions of disaster and despair, and utopian ideals of environmental sustainability and connection to place. The exhibition features diverse mediums, including works on paper, sculpture, ceramics, and painting.
