Art Social: Material Explorations with Serafina Min

Art Socials are informal, sociable sessions for teachers and art educators of all kinds run by Leeds Art Gallery and Henry Moore Institute.

We aim to provide a space for teachers and educators to be creative, collaborative and experimental, giving you inspiration to take back into teaching settings.

Join us for a hands-on session with artist Serafina Min, whose work features in Beyond the Visual, our groundbreaking exhibition showcasing multi-sensory artwork, mainly by blind and partially blind artists.

We’ll discover artist Serafina Min’s use of language and description of sculpture to allow us to experience artwork that we can’t see, and consider how this can support oracy and vocabulary development in the classroom. We’ll then explore materials using multi-sensory approaches, inspired by Serafina’s work as an art teacher with blind children. We’ll consider the texture, sound, weight and temperature of sculptural materials, considering how we can understand and respond to them using senses other than sight.
