Welcome to the UK pages in the project's online 'Tool Kit'. This section is predominately in ENGLISH but also includes contributions from outside of the partnership in other languages and examples taken from galleries and museums in other countries.
These pages have been developed for use alongside the Modules and to provide additional reading, supporting evidence and materials. We particularly want to emphasise the promotion of creativity and the importance of developing a lifelong appreciation of Art as part of developing the 'whole child'. Several of the examples especially the case studies and interviews will appeal to teachers from any country so please explore all of the country specific pages. We also hope that teachers will devise their own activities based on one of the project themes or construct new activities, like creating computer generated images, an iBook (eBook), a piece of music/ song/ rap inspired by art or researching other galleries or pieces of art they feel illustrates this theme. |
Please share any activities you devise with one of the project team. If space permits we'll include your activities on the website or link to your school's web pages. |

RemeVasa Museum: Strength and Power:
How can a visit to a museum be linked to the modules? The Vasa Museum in Stockholm provides an example. The Vasa was a large warship, the pride of the Swedish navy. She sank on her maiden voyage in 1628 and was salvaged from the seabed and placed in a purpose built museum. The powerpoint shows how this one exhibit can link into our 'Strength and Power' module and stimulate creativity. Remember art and design are all around us!
Please let us know if you have any similar ideas from your local museum.
