During the residency there will be opportunities to see a range of work produced with the learners and exhibit alongside them, meet other artists and organisations in the sector.

The Artist in Residence programme is flexible and will be developed and defined depending on the art form area and the artist’s level of experience and expertise. There will be opportunities to research, develop and present a work in progress with support, space and time from the college.

Mae dau gyfle cyffrous wedi codi i artistiaid/dylunwyr preswyl feithrin eu datblygiad fel artistiaid a chyflwyno sgyrsiau a gweithdai i ddysgwyr ochr yn ochr â thimau Coleg Gwyr Abertawe.

Bydd yr artistiaid preswyl yn defnyddio llefydd gwag ac offer Campws Llwyn y Bryn (pan f oar gael) i archwilio eu gwaith. Yn ystod y cyfnod preswyl, bydd yr ymgeiswyr llwyddiannus yn cael cyfle i weld ystod eang o waith a gynhyrchir gan ddysgwyr ac yn arddangos eu gwaith ochr yn ochr â nhw, yn ogystal â chwrdd ag artistiaid a sefydliadau eraill yn y sector.

Mae’r rhaglen Artistiaid Preswyl yn hyblyg a bydd yn cael ei datblygu yn dibynnu ar y ffurf gelf a phrofiad ac arbenigedd yr artist. Bydd cyfleoedd o fewn y rôl i ymchwilio, datblygu a chyflwyno gwaith gyda chefnogaeth y coleg.

Bydd yr ymgeisydd delfrydol yn artist/dylunydd wedi’i leoli yng Nghymru ac yn rhedeg practis sefydledig/arfaethedig ac wedi graddio yn ddiweddar. Byddai meddu ar brofiad o gyflwyno gweithdai i ddysgwyr ar draws ystod eang o gyrsiau yn fuddiol iawn gan y bydd hyn yn rhan allweddol o’r rôl.

Fel cyfathrebwr hyderus a chlir, byddwch yn medru ysbrydoli ac ysgogi myfyrwyr. Bydd gennych sgiliau cyfathrebu a datrys problemau gwych a’r gallu i weithio ar eich liwt eich hun ac fel rhan o dîm. Byddwch hefyd yn barod i weithio’n hyblyg. Bydd gofyn i chi ddangos i ddysgwyr sut i hyrwyddo eu gwaith trwy ddefnyddio cyfryngau cymdeithasol, a byddwch yn arddangos eich gwaith chi ar gyfryngau cymdeithasol y coleg.

Ni cheir ceisiadau Cymraeg eu trin yn llai ffafriol na cheisiadau Saesneg. 

Mae Coleg Gwyr Abertawe yn ymrwymedig i ddiogelu a hyrwyddo lles pobl ifanc ac yn disgwyl i’r holl staff rhannu’r ymrwymiad hwn. Bydd penodiadau eu gwneud ar sail gwiriad DBS manylach a bydd gofyn i chi ymaelodi â Chyngor Gweithlu Addysg Cymru.

(Rydym yn disgwyl nifer fawr o ymgeiswyr ar gyfer y swydd wag hon. Os derbynnir llawer o geisiadau, efallai y byddwn yn atal unigolion rhag cyflwyno cais cyn y dyddiad penodedig. Awgrymir felly ichi gyflwyno’ch cais yn gynnar.)
