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.
These pages will be developed for use alongside the Modules and to provide additional reading and supporting evidence and materials related to the promotion of creativity at primary level and the importance of developing a lifelong appreciation of Art as part of developing the 'whole child'. To explore the whole toolkit please click on the links on this page. |
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. |
Responses to the modules (plus translations)
Interviews with teachers (using the modules in the classroom). Interviews with art educators, art historians and artists
Videos of the modules being used in the classroom. Case studies
Note: These links will become active as the project develops.
Activities for pupils from the project team
Teachers can choose from art, language or drama activities created by our project team. 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.
Further Art education reference points
There is always more to find out about the paintings used in the modules AND
There are always different paintings that can be used to provoke discussion and work within each theme.
If you find some paintings that are really useful do please contact us so that we can add these to the toolkit.
Art Books for Children
There are many art books available specifically for young people. They provide both an insight into the artist and specific paintings. They can be a very useful introduction for younger pupils. On the list provided the books which link to the National Gallery in particular are in bold.
Art UK
Art UK is the online resource for every public art collection in the UK. This charitable organisation has just completed a survey of all oil paintings (200,000+) currently on public exhibition in the UK. It is now turning its attention to public sculptures; there are thought to be more than 13,000 around the UK.
