Led by multidisciplinary artist Halima Akhtar with co-facilitation by artist, Molly Burrows, this free, full-day event focuses on non-traditional forms of drawing, outdoor learning and play, and collaborative processes through a range of materials.Part of Spaces to Explore: Prioritising Process in Creative Learning, a two-year schools’ project funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, this CPD session is open to anyone working in educational settings and aims to support educators in developing creative practices, fostering collaborative exploration, and prioritising process-led approaches to teaching and learning.? Venue:Sadler's Wells East (Baylis Room) 101 Carpenters Rd, Stratford Cross, London E20 2AR? Time:10am – 3.30pmWhat to ExpectThis immersive day will combine mindfulness practices, drawing, printing, walking and collaborative working:Morning: A warm welcome and introduction, followed by a Sound Textures mindfulness exercise and discussion led by Halima. This grounding session provides a space for participants to connect to the sensations of bodies and surrounding environment, as a gateway into embodied learning.Mid-Morning: Listening to music as stimuli, participants will explore a freeform drawing workshop followed by a group reflection using ribbon, newsprint and drawing tools. Participants are invited to use both hands to draw, and to notice the feelings and familiar patterns the body wants to take, playing with these sensations and using this as an opportunity to challenge these ways of working and moving.Afternoon: Enjoy a guided walk along The Line to explore three public installations in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the water ways, bridges, nature and paths that connects it all – a landscape that is layered and woven together. Along the way, the group will engage in a playful drawing/print-making activity using tin foil, oil pastels and paper.Afternoon (continued): Taking inspiration from tin foil print drawings, the group will head to Carpenters Road Lock in the Olympic Park (weather permitting) to take part in a collaborative mapping activity. Drawing together in response to the space and each other, you will use the concrete as your page and yarn as your drawing tool.This session invites participants to explore abstract forms, shapes and marks while working collaboratively to create an expansive, open-ended drawing that is not fixed. The day will end with further group reflections on the findings of the day and how this relates to teaching and learning in school settings.About Halima AkhtarHalima Akhtar is a multidisciplinary artist based in South East London working across drawing, print and kinetic experimentation. Her practice foregrounds drawing as both a constructive methodology and a spontaneous form of making that responds to place, experience and material relationships. She extends her studio work into dynamic processes that investigate how mark-making can generate movement, transformation and expanded forms of engagement.Working closely with staff and students at Harris Chobham Academy Primary, Halima uses drawing as a catalyst for exploring shape, texture, colour, light and shadow, supporting the development of individual and collaborative work through world-building, mapping and co-designed outcomes. As part of this engagement, she also co-delivered teacher workshops and produced resource materials to integrate drawing, abstraction and language into classroom practice.Her community-engaged work sits alongside other creative interventions and collaborations with Drawing Room, South London schools, and support to organisations such as Tate on their delivery of Uniqlo Tate Play and Stitch School with their public programmes for Brixton Design Trail x Brixton Library and residency with Dulwich Picture Gallery.──────────────────────────────────────✨ This CPD day is free to attend and open to up to 25 participants.

Its outdoor exhibition programme offers a journey through a dynamic urban landscape where everyone can explore art, nature, and heritage for free. The route runs between Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and The O2, following the waterways and the line of the Greenwich Meridian.The Line has received funding from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, who work collaboratively with organisations and individuals who are working to build a just society. The grant we have been awarded is part of the foundation’s Arts-Based Learning programme and has supported us to deliver two years of sustained collaborative learning programming with three primary schools in Newham.As Spaces to Explore emphasises process and experimentation in arts-based learning, we have not established specific learning outcomes for students. Our outcomes focus on the process of co-designing with teachers, and the unique contribution offered by The Line for arts-based learning.
