Art 3, Step by Step, for key Stage 2 classes
This book is especially designed for the use of non specialist art teachers. Not suitable to use for children.
This
book is intended for teachers of children aged 8 and 9 to help them to
develop their pupils understanding and enjoyment of art, craft and design
The
sessions are planned to introduce children to a wide range of tools and
techniques, to encourage language and discussion, to build on, extend and use previous skills and developing further skills
in a sequential series of activities.
The
areas targeted are drawing, painting, printing, collage, textiles and
sculpture which are the content of the National Curriculum Art Document.
The
visual elements of art i. e. language of the subject, line, tone,
texture, pattern etc, are identified in relation to each session, and
links are made with the work of other artist, craftworkers and
designers.
In addition this book has a section for each session on sketchbook. I
will focus very much in the use of sketchbook, in which children
will collect visual evidence and information.
