ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a case study of an art project in Tattingstone School, a small rural primary school in Suffolk. The head of this school and his wife collect pictures and sculptures, mostly British work of the years between the wars. The chapter recounts a printmaker who was given the opportunity to spend a fortnight working from a tiny observation room above the competition pool as artist in residence with Ipswich Borough Council. This was the first in a series of ventures designed to bring artists into the community and to allow people to see and talk with them as they worked; to bring art off the wall and out of the frame, to be seen as a creative process of experimentation. An integrated curriculum means bringing the whole process of discovery and experimentation into the curriculum; of making judgements and decisions part of our teaching and learning.
