What do teachers say about this resource? (5803)
A perfect introduction to art for children written in an effective and interesting way... Simple, clear and fun. Includes well-chosen schemes and provides a brief overview about the iconography of reptiles in art... There was absolutely nothing that I didn't like about this resource.
A very useful resource full of varied and flexible ideas aimed at a wide range of abilities. The most appealing and useful part of the resource were the differentiated worksheets and task ideas which would easily allow a non-specialist to cover a lesson... There is a great deal of valid background knowledge which boosts learning and strengthens student's understanding of the subject matter. The introductory tasks have a firm focus on skills... I enjoyed reading this resource and would use it in my lessons." - Z Blythe-Lord, Art Teacher and Independent Reviewer
Very informative... I particularly like the amount of visual examples. The historical information is very interesting and would promote a great deal of discussion within the class. The differentiated sheets would also be a useful resource... I liked the link to OFSTED requirements and also the fact that different learning styles and requirements are considered... This resource enhances learning by not only forming connections between the artistic content, but by incorporating other subjects within the students' learning... Many historical, moral and religious learning points throughout the activities with different perspectives being discussed and reviewed through art... Could be used to base a whole topic around or as independent research for students.
I would definitely use this resource - very imaginative for staff and pupils... By discussing and looking at the art of many cultures and religions, this is a brave piece of work and would play an important part in opening up pupils’ minds to the variety of cultures in the world and in the UK... Absolutely great that this is differentiated, especially including pupils with special needs... A fascinating resource and, as it says at the end, can be extended by looking at the art of other cultures.
