The Articulate
project is a response to the extension of the National Literacy
Strategy to secondary schools. In consultation with Literacy
Advisers from Brent School Improvement Service, Islington Council,
Camden Council and Hackney Technology and Learning Centre, the
Gallery has been working in partnership with schools to explore
ways in which the collection can be used to support the English
Framework.
Schools involved in the project are:
Hackney Free and Parochial School (E9)
Skinners' School for Girls (E5)
St. Aloysius R.C. School (N6)
Stoke Newington School (N16)
St. Gregory's High School (HA3)
Woodfield Special School (NW9)
Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School (N1)
John Kelly Girls' Technology College (NW2)
Brentford School for Girls(Middlesex)
Hounslow Manor School (TW3)
Cumberland School (E13)
St. George's RC School(SE1)
Pimlico School (SW1)
St. Augustine's CE High School (NW6)
St. Marylebone CE School (W1U)
To encourage a sense of familiarity and ownership of the collection, and to enable each student to be given the same opportunity to work with a variety of writers, whole year groups from each school visit the Gallery three times over the course of their Key Stage 3 careers.
During the writers’ masterclasses, held at the Gallery,
students learn about professional ways of working and how to
communicate their ideas clearly. Back at school, with their
English teachers, students use these techniques to develop finished
pieces of work. This model has enabled the school students,
teachers, Gallery staff and the writers involved to gain new
perspectives on how the visual arts can be used to inspire creative
thinking, learning and, of course, writing.
The National Gallery Education Department commissioned the Research Centre for Museums and Galleries to evaluate the Articulate project.
