  • Star Anise for Christmas

    By Miss_Bolton on (Verified Purchase)

    I’ve done this project with academically challenged students in Switzerland and I must say, it was brilliant. They loved tearing apart the cardboard, then finding newspaper clippings that were meaningful to them, the distressing and finally the pencil and coal drawings. They were surprised how good their end results were and how artistic it all looks now in the hallway.
    Some of my students learnt watching an object closely and then finding the bright and darker parts for the first time.
    I can only recommend.

    Thank you Miss Artyteacher!

    Sarah Crowther – The Arty Teacher

    I set up The Arty Teacher because I have a passion for my subject that I want to share with other art teachers around the world.

    I have been a high school art teacher for over 20 years, so I understand what it’s like to be in front of a class of students, often with very different abilities and attitudes.

    I wanted to develop resources that would help teachers to bring out the best in every student in every class. I also wanted to free-up staff from time-consuming lesson preparation to let them focus instead on delivering exciting, motivating, dynamic lessons, supported by excellent resources.
