Celebrate Art is so valuable as a teaching resource. All aspects of studying an artist are covered. It is a suitable resource for multi-levels and for experienced AND new teachers. It has easy-to-follow plans which can be adapted to suit the class we have at the time, or just followed through as is.
St Johns Hill School
The Celebrate Art Pack - Identity and Belonging - is a well thought out and put together resource, suitable for upper Primary and early Secondary school students. The images from the 7 artists show how they each respond differently to the theme of Identity and Belonging by using materials and producing artworks which are personal expressions of issues all students can relate to. The information on the back of each image is extensive and can be easily used by the classroom teacher to develop his/her students knowledge of art appreciation, exploring and responding to art works and creating and making art.
