Written by Professor Linda Drew, Creative Education Champion ![]() In February this year I started work advising a University about their existing and new space/studio provision and planning for effective use in the creative art and design courses. I was interviewing staff and students about their perceptions and experiences of using the spaces for learning. Then the lockdown started and even my information gathering phase had to change to a much more virtual mode, and now my whole focus has shifted to advice on how those creative arts students interact and learn to practice when some of those facilities are not accessible. I relate strongly to this statement on the WonkHE blog this week by Paul Greatrix : ‘…Universities are fundamentally communities of scholars and not just the buildings that house them. But the buildings give us a sense of place, identity and solidity; the campus helps make our institutions what they are and generally facilitates rather than hinders the progression of learning and research.’ ( accessed 14 April 2020) ![]() I’ve always believed that value of practice-based creative arts education lies in the practice-based pedagogy, which truly immerses participants in a rich and diverse range of activity designed to develop both a practice identity and competence in tandem. So, what have I learnt recently?
