COLORING ACTIVITIES. 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.
The resource comprises 3 original colouring books by Mael Matthews, totally over 100 different coloring templates. Recent research suggests that anxious, over busy minds can be calmed by focusing on simple, therapeutic tasks such as colouring. This resource has been designed to be suitable for use with all ages, including adults and SEN students.
Whether being used as an extension activity, for therapeutic reasons or simply for fun, I hope that you enjoy this resource.
Happy colouring!
Halloween is on the way! Engage your students with this visual resource - 25 spooky photocopiable images in grayscale that can be coloured and/or provide inspiration for creative writing.
They are spooky, but not scary! So these images can be used with all ages.
Happy Halloween!
This resource provides a step by step art project suitable for year 3, 4, 5 and 6 students. The photocopiable work book guides students through a range of fun, informative, creative processes. All tasks are related to the natural world and encourage students to engage with the environment. Tasks are "self differentiating" , meaning that students of all abilities can access the tasks and develop work at an appropriate level. Students are also introduced to a range of artists along the way. Each task build on the previous one and culminates in the student devising a final outcome (a final piece of artwork).
Also included is an extensive photographic library of natural images to provide inspiration to students. Photographic files included are:
Plants
Insects
Fungi
Birds
Natural textures
Flowers
Fish
Trees
This project could be a great creative addition to lessons on nature and environment
This resource has been devised specifically for Primary Schools by Mael Matthews, experienced Head of Art at a UK Grammar School and Senior A level Art Moderator (examiner) for one of the Uk's leading exam boards.
