101 Amazing Ideas for Art Lessons
10 linked lessons introducing students to a wide range of drawing styles. Ideal as a first scheme to deliver to Year 7 students. Clear explanations for the teacher along with materials lists, homework suggestions, thinking skills, artist references and more. Also includes example images of student work.
Coloring for all! Many children and adults suffer from stress and anxiety at times. An over busy brain makes it difficult to concentrate on tasks and the feelings associated with anxiety can cause distress and further anxiety. Recent research suggests that activities which focus the mind without being overly taxing can help break the cycle of worry and anxiety and can help calm the busy mind.
One such activity is coloring. This resource provides 40 original hand drawn kaleidoscopic images. The repetitive nature of the patterns is intentional, encouraging the individual to settle into a calming routine. Drawings range in complexity, making it a suitable resource for all age groups, including adults.
I hope that enjoyment and a sense of calm can be found by using this resource.
