AccessArt Drawing Prompt Cards

AccessArt drawing prompt cards have been created in collaboration with artists and teachers over the years, to help support drawing and overcome the ‘white page’ and ‘fear of drawing’.

Prompt cards have also been used in the context of drawing CPD for teachers and Drawing for Mindfulness sessions.
Many thanks to artist Betsy Dadd who first introduced us to the idea of drawing in the time it takes to ‘inhale and exhale a breath’, and in the time it takes to ‘blink’.

Mastering colour mixing

This resource is based on methods shared during an AccessArt InSET session for primary school teachers at New Hall School, Chelmsford, to ultimately enable their pupils to develop colour skills. Teachers explored using their intuition and experience to mix primary colours, creating coloured swatches that matched the colours of spring flowers, whilst comparing painting mediums.
