November's book suggestion

Recently we have expanded our collection of books to use when teaching art. We now have a wide range of options for both Key Stage One and Key Stage Two - these are just two options so do have a look at our full selection on the site to see all the books available.

New Books

The Artist by Ed Vere

Key stage 1, Art

A lovely way to help younger children explore the questions ‘What is art?’ and ‘What is an artist?’ This book will build children’s confidence as they begin to understand that art is personal and doesn’t always have to look perfect. Our planning provides key questions, activities and further text suggestions for exploring these ideas further.

A History of Pictures for Children by David Hockney & Martin Gayford

Key stage 2, Art

A History of Pictures for Children takes readers on a journey through art history, from early art drawn on cave walls to the images we make today on our computers and phone cameras. This book can be used to include reading about the history of art in a variety of units on developing art techniques throughout the key stage, so our resources provide suggested activities for incorporating use of the book throughout the KS2 art curriculum.
