Art With Little Pics tries to focus each week on a different genre or media. I always ask the children to let me know which artist or artwork they would like to cover in the following term. I would also love to hear from parents about a favourite masterpiece they would like their children to learn about. I choose artwork that will expose the children to different ways to learn and be creative.
​
Each lesson starts with the students reading about the artist and an open discussion on the artwork and artist. The children always start their artwork with a sketch using pencil which encourages practicing and making mistakes. We work on A3 art paper or card.
​
(Note: As the teacher I may choose to change the subject or material to benefit the children in my class. This could be because I see in a previous lesson some students would benefit from further developing particular techniques, such as using a certain material or to focusing on a new creative skill.)
