Expressive arts is not just visual art, it also includes sandplay, movement, clay, dance and storytelling. Our new Expressive Arts teacher Irene Dudley-Swarbrick PhD explores her own creative journey and the damage that art teachers can do to our creative imaginations
Irene tries to live her life creatively, colourfully and with compassion.
