Teaching a Diverse Primary Art Curriculum by Kaytie Holdstock
The ultimate resource for developing a diverse, engaging primary art curriculum based on the work of artists from a range of backgrounds and cultures. Whether your class are drawing self-portraits or collaging with recycled materials, take inspiration from artists that challenge conventions and start conversations. With lesson plans, project ideas and one-off activities, Teaching a Diverse Primary Art Curriculum is a practical guide full of inspiration to empower every teacher to have the confidence of a specialist. Photographed black-and-white examples of children’s work inspired by the likes of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Victoria Villasana and Ai Weiwei provide a comprehensive guide to primary art lessons that are in line with the National Curriculum and offer opportunities for cross-curricular links. Each chapter focuses on a different art form, including drawing, painting, sculpting, printing, textiles, photography and collage, and contains child-friendly histories of the suggested artists without problematic stereotypes or generalisations about cultures. Feel supported by this practical book to teach pupils about art from women, people of colour and people with disabilities – and let their creativity do the rest!
