This art workshop for Dutch primary school students (grades 1-8) was developed and piloted by a local school, and is now in development as a package to be managed by MiK a local agency for creative education.
In the two week workshop, each group has its own technique and theme within the broader theme of the Dutch Golden Age.
The package is offered as a website, with separate areas for school mamangement information, teacher information and lesson plans, and worksheets, videos and slideshows for students.
Each year level has their own page on thei site, providing information and activities approriate to students age and abilities. This includes:
• Slideshow with examples from the theme and period
• Visual examples of the work of other children (intended for the teacher).
• Lesson plans with step-by-step instructions, and accessories.
• activities and how to infotmation
• activities and how to infotmation
• All activities and themes linked National Education Standards (Tulle)
• Thematic introduction and lesson content tailored to each group.
• Thematic introduction and lesson content tailored to each group.
The workshop repeats annually, and as the children progress through the year levels they try the techniques appropriate for that year level. The theme can be changed each year (previously this course was run using the Leonardo da Vinci as an artist model).
