Event overview
Dr Beth Williamson talks about radical pedagogy in post war British Art through the work of Anton Ehrenzweig. In the 1950s and 1960s, inspired by the Bauhaus, new ideas on art education developed in art schools across Britain. Ehrenzweig forged new ground at Goldsmiths College with his Art Teachers Certificate (ATC) course 1964-6. This was the forerunner to the PGCE and moved towards a more responsive form of art education.
