The 6th IADEA conference will be held in Chennai at the Kalakshetra Foundation on January 31st and February 1st 2025. Our theme for this year is Rethink Art Class.
Every career in the future will need knowledge workers to be visually literate. Mark making with various mediums be it pencil or iPad, image framing – now that every phone is a camera, thinking in 3D using clay or the latest printers… Communicating visually is the language of tomorrow. Are you preparing your students today?
Art class should –
- Encourage curiosity, self-expression and problem solving to prepare our young people to adapt and thrive as critical independent thinkers.
- Integrate with other subjects to help students inhabit historical contexts, explore diverse perspectives or engage in social issues through purposeful visual communication.
- Promote emotional intelligence and well-being by providing a non-judgemental outlet to process stress.
Inviting art educators from schools to a day and a half of workshops and round tables, in collaboration with Chennai Photo Biennale.
