Artworks are in fact very like people. The more time you spend with them and ask them questions, the more you will come to understand and appreciate their points of view.
A wealth of inspiration for the primary classroom is contained in this innovative selection of art images from Asia. Each Inspirations art card comprises an image of the artwork on one side with background information on the piece, with the artist and the societies they reflect included on the reverse. Traditional modern and contemporary examples have been selected, representing a wide range of forms, styles and materials, including:
- a nineteenth-century Japanese woodblock printing
- a traditional Hindu miniature painting from India
- Arabic calligraphy from the Qur’an
- a contemporary ant farm installation symbolising today’s widespread erosion of national identity and cultural autonomy
- many other captivating images from the countries of Asia
A rich variety of teaching materials have been designed to support different learning styles and are provided on the cards as Curriculum outcomes; Background for teachers; Stimulus materials; Looking activities; Classroom discussion; Making activities, and Cross-curricular ideas and extension activities.
