In addition to designing and delivering a varied art curriculum I provide students with opportunities to develop their learning outside of the classroom. This page showcases examples of recent home learning activities which I have designed and facilitated.
Colour theory (year 5- age 9-10)
To further embed skills and knowledge introduced in lessons on colour theory, students were challenged to create their own found object colour wheels. Students had to depict the primary, secondary and tertiary colours in the correct order on the colour wheel using only objects available in their home environments.

Yayoi Kusama re-mixed (year 5- age 9-10)

The repeated multi-colour dot motif featured in Yayoi Kusama's Obliteration Room and her pumpkin motif proved particularly inspirational. Students were encouraged to take creative risks and to experiment.
