Publisher Description In any area of the curriculum, children need to learn concepts, facts and skills through first-hand experience. In art, such learning depends on exploring and experimenting with the visual language through which artists communicate, and the visual elements such as line, colour and shape. The National Curriculum places strong emphasis on experimenting with and applying the visual elements. Understanding Art systematically explores the basic knowledge needed to do this effectively. Martin Wenham deals with the visual elements of art, their properties and how they are related, and especially about how childrens knowledge of each can be developed through simple but creative activities. Each element is placed in context, with extensive cross-referencing. Wenham shows how these elements can be observed in the childrens environment and provides examples of how they have been used in works of art and craft. This accessible book does not assume any specialist knowledge or experience. It is essential for teachers at primary and secondary levels, art co-ordinators and for undergraduate and postgraduate level students of art education.Martin Wenham is an artist, calligrapher and stone carver who has exhibited at the Crafts Council.
