We hope that parents, teachers and children will browse the rooms and enjoy the obvious enthusiasm and skill which our children have shown. There are 10 rooms in our gallery, together they contain 61 drawings or paintings by children aged between 9 and 11 from Alderman Davies School. If you would like to have a quick look around hit the browse function above which will allow you to tour at random. If you are interested to find out more about the teaching strategies relevant to each set of work look at the rooms themselves for brief descriptions. In time these will be written up as arteducation.co.uk units of work and Nigel is also preparing a Viewpoints magazine article describing the rationale for this approach.
Children gain so much confidence from being able to explore and experiment with media.
This can be developed by quite structured teaching of specific skills or techniques.
