The Celebrate Art resource includes
Picture representative only
21 A3 posters displaying images of New Zealand painters, sculptors, photographers and printmakers, representing a variety of ethnic backgrounds (including Maori, Samoan, Korean and European).
Teachers of visual arts have described our past series as
'the best resource seen in ten years on the job.'
Each theme has seven contributing artists, so with three themes in the series, this gives a total of 21 artists introduced.
Each poster is a full colour high-gloss reproduction of the artist's work.
The back of the posters are full of summarised information including:
- the artist biography and statement, with a photograph of the art
- the artist’s comment about the work profiled
- how he/she develops ideas, with a photograph
- the technical process of creating the artwork
- subject and themes/approaches
- some questions for discussion about the work profiled
NB. The poster owner can legally photocopy the details on the back of the poster for use within the school.
To ensure each pack meets the syllabus requirements we also include:
- 12 Free Lesson Plans in a variety of media to assist teachers in a hands on art lesson
Each pack will be contained in a PVC envelope for storage.
Are there any hidden charges? This seems so cheap!!!
We are committed to making excellent quality and affordable resources.
