The Visual Arts works presented in this book have been created by primary school children between 8 and 12 years of age and should give teachers an idea of the effectiveness of the lessons outlined in the book.
 
There are over 20 Visual Art ideas and activities with a comprehensive step-by-step lesson guide for each.
 
Lessons have been designed to provide an understanding of the expressive qualities of the basic elements of Visual Arts ie a study of line, colour, tone, texture and shape. They are easy to follow and include an objective, list of materials, instructions on procedures and techniques, and in many cases, reference to modern artists and their work.
 
A knowledge and experience of the expressive and descriptive qualities of the elements, provided by these lessons, will make teachers and children more confident in their approach to developing imaginative and creative art work.
