About

Articulation Discovery Days are free workshops for KS5 students to help develop their critical analysis, research and public speaking skills. The workshops are open to schools from the state sector only.

During this one-day workshop students will:

  • Explore art works through personal observation, discussion and primary research
  • Be encouraged to think independently, analyse information, and ask informed questions
  • Learn how to conquer nerves, physically prepare, and successfully deliver a presentation to large audiences
  • Meet with and interview art world professionals.

At the end of the day each student will deliver their research and personal responses in short group presentations to the workshop leaders and their fellow students. Students do not need any prior experience, all skills required will be introduced on the day.

Articulation supports the national Arts Award initiative for both Silver and Gold (gaining up to UCAS points), the EPQ, the Duke of Edinburgh Award, and UCAS personal statements.
