Art 4, 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 10 and 11 to develop
their pupils creativity and imagination through increasingly sustained
activities.
The
sessions are planned to introduce children to a wide range of tools and
techniques, to encourage language and discussion, to use, build on and
extend and previous skills as well as 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 and record visual evidence and information.
