- [Art in School](https://artistinschool.com/tag/art-in-school/) - Paul Cezanne – The Red Waistcoat Why Art? Art is very much like life it can be wonderful, frustrating, beautiful or ugly, uplifting and challenging. Is art simply what artists produce? Or is there more to it? What about Creativity? Inspiration and Virtuosity? Art, intrinsically, is worth nothing, but can sell for millions and why do we fill galleries full of art for thousands of people to look at and enjoy? Art is fascinating because it is created by humans. Art in school is vital. The Reluctant Artist So many times in an art lesson a child will exclaim, ‘I can’t draw’. How does the art teacher combat such a claim? It often arises from a lack of confidence on the part of the child, so this is what has to be addressed. Children have to understand that what they draw, paint and create is unique to them. Encourage them to feel proud of their own achievements. Point out that art is not a competition, its about an individual response to the world. Artists are individuals, they don’t copy others work and styles they seek a personal expression. We ‘buy’ into an artist’s individual work. No one will value the work of an artist copying a Van Gogh when you can see the real thing.
- [art](https://artistinschool.com/tag/art/) - Mick Jagger – Andy Warhol What is Art? Art is very much like life it can be wonderful, frustrating, beautiful or ugly, uplifting and challenging. Is art simply what an artist produces? Or is there more to it? What about Creativity? Inspiration and Virtuosity? Art, intrinsically, is worth nothing, but can sell for millions and why do we fill galleries full of art for thousands of people to look at and enjoy? Art is fascinating because it is created by humans. Tha Artist The artist can be seen as an oddball characters like Michelangelo, who lay on his backs for years painting a ceiling. Or Damien Hirst who chops up cows and calls it art. The artist may even go as far as cutting off their own ear as Van Gogh did in the pursuit of creating art. But artists also have their own vision of the world, they encourage to view the world from a different perspective. They challenge our beliefs, our views, our attitudes and attack our complacency. Artists create works of art which in themselves are worthless, yet we put great value on them. These works are often seen as the pinnacle of human achievement and appeal to our feelings.
- [art lesson](https://artistinschool.com/tag/art-lesson-ideas/) - The art lesson The Art Lesson If an art lesson is to be successful it has to be well planned, focused and be stimulating for children. There has to be a balance between successful class management and creating situations, in which children can think for themselves and be creative. Getting the balance right is one of the great skills of an art teacher in schools. The art lesson may focus on developing skills like drawing, painting or printmaking. It may also aim to develop creativity by challenging children with different scenarios. Enabling children to express their world in the way they see it. Lessons in art will also teach children to respect materials and use them appropriately. Why Teach Art? The teaching of art in school is a vital part of a child’s education. It focuses the child on problem solving, engages them in creative activities and helps to focus their minds on developing manipulative skills. Art in school can also help to give a child a sense of place, can be a starting point for discussion of many interesting topics. Children a real sense of achievement from Art when they see their skills develop in their painting, drawing, creating and building activities. Art lessons provide the scope foe children to express their views about the world they see around themselves.
- [art teacher](https://artistinschool.com/tag/art-teacher/) - Teaching Picasso Secondary School The art teacher is unique in a School. He or she is the creative influence, not only do they serve the school in terms of providing stage sets, posters and a myriad of other creative aspects. But their main function is in the classroom with children. They develop children’s creativity, their means of expression and their manipulative skills. Art teachers also develop the skills of drawing, painting, sculpture etc. in children. With these skills they encourage children to create imaginative responses to problems and scenarios. Above all they get children to think laterally, which is a very important skill indeed. Primary School The art coordinator is the person that sets the standards for teaching art in a school. This person leads the development of the subject and offers advice to other teachers who may be teaching art. The art coordinator also looks after and orders resources for the art department. This person may also show others how to use the materials in an engaging, creative and suitable manner for which ever age group is being taught.
