Adapting AccessArt: Egypt in Ink

By Jennifer Connor

In the ‘Adapting AccessArt‘ series, we will be spotlighting teachers who have used AccessArt resources to develop their own pathways.

In this resource, Jennifer Connor, Teacher at Mitcheldean Endowed Primary School, shares with us an adaptation of the Exploring Still Life pathway to create links with a curriculum topic on Ancient Egypt. This adaptation takes place over 4 sessions. Read on to find out how Jennifer facilitated an exploration of drawing and combined it with an historical focus.

Remembrance Day Peg Soldiers

What We Like About This Resource….

“It’s great to see a different approach to thinking about remembrance day. These peg soldiers are a refreshing alternative to artwork inspired by poppies. The processes involved encourage children to focus on fine motor skills: wrapping embroidery thread around the peg and creating small detailed clothes and helmets. These dolls look particularly effective when standing as a collection and would make a poignant alternative to a standard display board” – Rachel, AccessArt

Which Artists: The Life & Works of Madge Gill

What We Like About This Resource….

“The life of Madge Gill that Sophie Dutton recounts here gives us real insight into the challenges that Madge Gill experienced, and how these challenges would have been common among women at the time. When we study the work of Artists, it adds a rich context to our experience of their work to consider their personal history, and helps us ask questions like ‘why do you think the Artist painted in this way or was inspired by this subject matter?’ If you introduce your class to Madge Gill, begin with looking back over her younger life to try and better understand her motivations as an Artist” – Rachel, AccessArt
