​Get creative with art online: Toolkit

Welcome to the project's online 'Tool Kit'. This has been developed for use alongside the Modules.  It provides additional reading and supporting evidence together with 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'.

Exploring the GCAO Toolkit
Teachers can choose from art, language or drama activities for pupils 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. 
​
The project team has uploaded resources in English, Greek, Italian and Swedish, this is how the Toolkit is organised.

Contemporary and recent artists
There are many contemporary and more recent artists from around the world who might also be worth considering.
Click on the ​Contemporary Artists page to see some of them and samples of their work ​
The use of pigments in paintings 
Pigments traditionally used by artists have been developed from plants, minerals and animals. 
More recently many pigments have been manufactured artificially. Some colours were very expensive and their inclusion in a painting showed wealth. Some were controversial in their origins and some include the origin of the colour in their name eg  Burnt Sienna
​On this linked page you can find out more about this fascinating subject area and perhaps try some experimenting yourself  to either mark make or dye materials.
