Study Session: Research & Art in Secondary Education

Nov 28 2017

This schoolyear, KCR, Codarts and WdKA collaboratively organise three study sessions covering art, technology, and society, created specifically for professionals in secondary education. The upcoming edition on November 28th is all about the questions: 'Which forms of research fit best with the art courses at your school?' and 'How do you increase the level of motivation for students in art courses?'

During this multidisciplinary session, various research methods will be presented by taking a 'deeper delve' into each method. At the end of this study session, you will receive a certificate with detailed information on how to add this to your 'lerarenregister'.

The costs for the entire day (lunch included) are 120 euros per person. We have a limited capacity of 45 participants. Make sure to sign up through the website of KCR to secure a spot!
Please note: This event will be held in Dutch.

Detailed Programme description:

Kick-off 9.30-10.15

Club Gewalt is a musical theatre. Club Gewalt has an opinion on just about everything—starting in Rotterdam. They’re more than an opinion, though: every performance takes on a different format. How do they create new performances? Which research methods do they use and how do they translate their findings? Robbert Klein and Suzanne Kipping will take you on a journey showing you the ins-and-outs of making musical theatre.

Workshops 10.30 – 12.30

Mobile Choreography - Zeynep Gündüz & Willem Weemhoff (PIPS:lab) 

Collectively create a (dance)film using multiple cellphones. How do you create one, shared, reality displayed from various point-of-views? As participant, you are the choreographer, camera operator, and performer, simultaneously. Mobile Choreography is a continuous, practice-based research project conducted by van Zeynep Gündüz and PIPS:lab, supported by the Codarts Research Fund.

Materials needed: bring your own smartphone, phone charger, and enough memory on your device. If this is a barrier, let us know and we can provide the necessary materials.

Zeynep Gündüz is an educator in Cultural Philosophy and Dance&Camera at Codarts. Zeynep engages in practice-based and theoretical research surrounding dance and technology. Her current research includes: Mobile Choreograph and Cinematic VR (360-degree video). Gündüz completed her thesis on dance and technology in 2012 at the University of Amsterdam.

Willem Weemhoff is a self-taught photographer, cameraman, editor, musician, producer and conceptual thinker. Aside from his work at PIPS:lab, Willem also works with partners such as: OMSK/Lotte van den Berg, TG Kalasjnikov & Hendrick Jan de Stuntman.

Finding stories, telling stories - Hanneke Briër

Designers research by making, understanding, experiencing and reflecting. The latter they do on their own, but also by sharing their ideas and discoveries with others. Sketches, first attempts, prototypes or pictures of situations help describe what they actually mean—what they are looking for.

By reflecting, designers sharpen the story of their design. In this workshop we’ll discover by doing: how material from a design process can form a story. By editing texts and images, while choosing, connecting, viewing and restarting, we design a visual essay.

Hanneke Briër is an educator in Storytelling design research at the WdKA Master Design - and now and again maker of visual essays.

Aspect cards, a reading & making – Karin Arink

Where do you stand in relation to others? Which values are important in your own research or lesson plans? Participate in an aspect card reading, a project that connects visual arts and educating. The aspect cards portray an image of the self in relation to the other. The images are linked to different physical experiences in which one aspect is magnified and shaped. The reading creates a thinking space, which enables us to think differently about our social roles. After a short reflection on the theoretical framework of the project, you will create your own interpretation of “aspect cards” stemming from “embodiment” and a metaphor.

Karin Arink is an artist, educator, and the Department Head of Fine Art and Photography at WdKA. Arink graduated from the Piet Zwart Institute with a Master in Education in Arts with her thesis “Mapping AUTONOOM Voices” and Educational Project Aspect Cards.
