Most primary school teachers are required to teach art yet many may have little background in the subject. This series of books aims to provide the classroom teacher not only with a wide variety of lesson plans but also a CD-ROM filled with masterclasses, photocopiables, a virtual gallery for the children, and a wealth of images which can be used in the course of the lessons.
Each book contains lesson plans covering six topics: drawing, painting, printing, collage and textiles, sculpture and digital media. The lesson plans, catering for sessions of different lengths, can be used singly or in conjunction. Vocabulary, resource lists, learning objectives, assessment and differentiation notes as well as suggestions for applications with other classroom subjects are included. Each book is accompanied by a CD which contains: images (famous paintings and the work of current artists and children as well as general images that support the lessons); a virtual gallery in which the children can hang their own shows; masterclasses which show the teacher how to do specific art techniques such as coiling or screenprinting, and resource materials.
All in all, these books will give primary teachers the resources they need to teach art to their classes. It can be used as a complete art scheme or as a resource for teachers who are more comfortable with teaching art.
