Includes step by step guide, materials lists, differentiation, cross subject links and links to the artist Hundertwasser. Fully illustrated.

This is a really exciting project that allows students to produce striking, vibrant paintings and drawings that look amazing when displayed as group of work. Students will love the results, and so will you when you see how stunning the work looks displayed in your art room. Two lesson plans.

GDPR regulations have resulted in schools having to tighten data regulations. One area that Art departments must be aware of is the taking of photographs and their use within student work. It is no longer good enough to have a cover all photography agreement form, things are now far more specific. This resource provides a clear, sensible GDPR policy for Art departments. This policy will ensure that your department is covered with regard to collection and use of photographs of students and staff.
