‘As I have attended heats up and down the country, I have never ceased to be impressed by young people rising to the challenge of communicating their observations about the visual arts and it is so gratifying to see their confidence grow. I was privileged to be an adjudicator and gained insight into the development of critical thinking skills that ARTiculation encourages, not to mention the difficulty of selecting a winner from such prodigious young talent!’ Students at an ARTiculation Discovery Day, Elizabeth Brooks in The Playground Project at BALTIC Centre for Adjudicator in 2016 Contemporary Art, Gateshead PROGRAMME 11

‘ARTiculation provides forums for young people to have a voice and to play on an even playing field in areas that aren’t typically seen as egalitarian or inclusive.’

Arts and Education Newspaper published by Welling School, Kent

ARTiculation works with students from across the country engaging them in looking, researching and then speaking about the arts. Since the first students ten years ago, ARTiculation participants have gone on to pursue careers in a variety of fields, taking with them a love and interest in art, architecture and artefacts; the three categories of choice within the ARTiculation Prize.

The opportunity therefore exists to now facilitate, nurture and expand an alumni network so that the support continues by linking up past participants with current students.

Students often take part who are not studying Fine Art or Art History. They come from a wide variety of disciplines from Maths to Biology, and they find links between their main subjects and their ARTiculation presentations. STUDENTS 21
