ABSTRACT

First Published in 1999. It is difficult to imagine a world without arts, with no drawing, music or painting for example. Few, if any, cultures are without these elements. This accessible book roots the practical in the theoretical, to explain carefully the principles which underpin practice, as well as offering a day-to-day reference book for classroom use. It includes ideas and examples of cross-curricular work which retain the integrity of visual arts teaching within the structures and strictures of today's primary schools.
