Rosmond Kinsey Milner
I
have permanent fractional appointments as a senior lecturer at two universities
- London Metropolitan, where I co-ordinate a team of Personal Academic Advisers
in the Sir John Cass Department of Art, Media and Design; and Anglia Ruskin,
where I write e-learning art and design materials for new media and for
pre-Initial Teacher Training students in Modern Foreign Languages. My
teaching experience spans almost four decades and many different educational contexts -
from mainstream secondary schools and Further Education Colleges to Pupil Referral
Units, art schools and universities in a range of fields that include French, English as a Foreign Language,
Art and Design, Fine Art, Communications and Photography.
I
have an MA in Fine Art and a BA in Fine Art and Critical Practice from Central St Martins School of Art,
now the University of the Arts, London. I also have a BA in French and a PGCE in Modern Foreign Languages from
the University of Wales, Cardiff.
I am a member of
the Higher Education Academy; the National Society for Education in Art and
Design and served on its art and
ICT board from 2003-6; the National
Association of Advisors for Computers in Education; the International Centre for Women in
Photography; and the Foundation for Women's Art. I have also acted
as Assistant Principal Moderator for the Graphics unit of Edexcel's new DiDA qualification
and written lesson plans and support materials for Pearson Longman for this
qualification.
From
1986 I exhibited my work regularly: mixed media, large scale drawings and
photographs, light boxes, projection and installations with sound. As a
freelance artist throughout the 1990s, in addition to fractional
teaching posts, I also gave talks, wrote
catalogue essays, led workshops or undertook artist’s residencies for galleries such
as Tate
Britain, The Haywood Gallery, The Whitechapel Gallery, The Photographers'
Gallery, The Geffrye Museum [London], The Ferens Gallery [Hull], The Bluecoat Gallery
[Liverpool], Chapter Arts Centre [Cardiff], The Contact Gallery [Norwich], and
Watermans Arts Centre [Brentford].
The
Virtual Artroom
I
first published the site in September 2002 when I was giving CPD
training in using ICT to art departments
around the country for teachers and colleagues to have easy access to the materials I was producing. It gets on
average about 224,000
requests a week.
